This week’s post is an extension of last week’s blog post about high-protein breakfast ideas. I’m sharing my favorite high-protein smoothie recipe that can be slightly modified to work for almost any flavor combo you can think of! I used to not be a smoothie person at all, but Mia LOVES them (she asks for “soothie” or “yogur drink” [followed by a slurping sound]) so I make them a lot more now. They’re definitely growing on me 😉 I’m a chocolate freak, so naturally my favorite smoothie recipe is chocolate based. I find that the best smoothies have either banana, mango, or nice ripe avocado in them to make them super smooth and creamy. And peanut butter, well, because peanut butter is boss. I just can’t get down with any other kind of nut butter. My fruity avocado smoothie is a great choice for those non-chocolate lovers (we can still be friends).
If you love smoothies and are looking to try something new, then my Ultimate Guide to Creative Snacks might be for you! Not only is it filled with a whole page dedicated to smoothies, but it is full of over 70 more snack ideas for you to follow and spice up your snacking game! You can find it on my website jenbelangernutrition.com/ebooks.
As a little bonus this week, here is another smoothie combo from my snack guide that we all think is delicious!
Chocolate Cherry Smoothie– blend together 3/4 cup frozen pitted cherries, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup cherry yogurt (Icelandic Provisions makes a great one!), 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup fresh spinach, and serve.
