My Perfect Smoothie


This week, I want to let you guys in on my latest ~obsession~. Based on the title, you know it’s a smoothie! While the contents in a smoothie vary depending on individual preferences, I’m hoping that you will be able to substitute your preferred ingredients to tailor it to your liking.

I’ve been drinking this smoothie every day for SEVERAL months. Here are some reasons why I love it:

  1. It’s PACKED with protein. I typically drink it right after I workout to make sure I’m helping my body repair after lifting. πŸ’ͺ🏼
  2. It’s helps me eat my greens. I hate vegetables. This smoothie sneaks in those greens subtly. You don’t even taste them! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
  3. It’s super easy to make. As long as you have a blender, you’re set!
  4. It’s yummy. No further comment. πŸ˜‹

So now that I have your attention (hopefully lol), let’s start!


Ingredients

  • Handful of frozen fruit of your choice. Personally, I use frozen berries. Berries are some of the best fruit for you!
  • 30g of Protein Powder.
  • 1 serving of Collagen Powder. This is something new I’ve recently started adding. I’m trying really hard to grow out my hair and collagen is really great for that!
  • 3/4 cup of Flax, Chia, and Hemp seeds. These are a fantastic source of protein Omega-3 fatty acids, fibre. You can usually find all three sold in one bag together!
  • Handful of spinach leaves. These are stacked with benefits such as: calcium, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, etc.
  • Small handful of frozen chopped avocado. Now…this is an odd one. Avocados are especially great if you’re trying to grow your glutes (which I am). Unfortunately, I don’t like the texture of avocados, so I add them into my smoothie. Be careful not to add too much of this one…it WILL change the taste of your entire smoothie.
  • 1/2 cup of Almond Milk. You can use any milk of your choice. I personally try to stay away from dairy as much as possible.

Tips

  • If you have a small blender like me, I recommend blending your milk, powders, and seeds first. Then blend in your spinach leaves, and afterwards end by blending your frozen fruit and avocados. This makes the process go by so much faster!
  • Add in a banana if you prefer sweet smoothies!

  1. Yes! I’m glad to hear other people have to “hide” healthy stuff too. I got a juicer several Christmases ago and it’s pretty much the ONLY way I’ll eat things I don’t like. Don’t like it? JUICE IT!

  2. I’m going to have to try this! I can’t justify going out for treats like this anymore, so definitely getting more in tune with my kitchen talents (and lack thereof) Keep the recipes coming! I have nothing but time to try them!

  3. Smoothies are literally the best! I always try to have one every once in awhile, especially if I want something on the sweeter side that is healthier for you versus having ice cream or something like that. I will definitely have to try this out.
