happy friday! i’ve been getting a lot of questions on my #fab4smoothies that i’ve been posting on my instagram lately, so i wanted to bring you some of my fave recipes [if you want to know more about what they are, check out this post].
go-to green
- protein powder of choice [i like this one]
- fat – i like to use trader joe’s mixed nut butter or simply balanced almond butter. i usually do two tablespoons to help keep me full.
- fiber – i use chia + ground flax, just for the extra fiber to keep me full and to reap all the other benefits, if you know what i mean!
- greens – i use spinach since it doesn’t have must of a taste. typically i’ll use frozen greens so that i don’t need to put ice in it. i’ll try and get as much in there as i can so that it 1. fills me up and 2. i get in more greens than i realize
- collagen [only if i’m not using collagen protein]
pb cup [trust me]
i’m not sure what it is about this one, but it tastes like chocolate peanut butter cups. SO GOOD.
- chocolate protein powder
- almond butter
- fiber – i use chia + ground flax, just for the extra fiber to keep me full and to reap all the other benefits, if you know what i mean!
- greens – frozen spinach again here
- 1/4 cup blueberries – frozen
- collagen [only if i’m not using collagen protein]
it seems like you guys are really interested in these, so if you want to know more [and why i’m obsessed with them], check out kelly leveque’s site + book. i’m actually really excited to create some versions when i’m [hopefully] nursing the new kiddo, since this is a really efficient way to get a whole bunch of nutrients into my body without a ton of prep, work, or fuss to ingest.
have a great weekend!
