Recipe: Green Glow Protein Smoothie

Written By Lesley O'Keeffe

If you're looking for a swift and convenient breakfast for busy mornings, a nourishing post-workout recharge, or an easy way to pack in your greens, this smoothie is your ideal choice!

350 calories per serving, 29g of protein, 34g of carbohydrate and 12g of fat.

Ingredients (serves 1):

  • 1 small banana

  • 1 cup spinach

  • 1 cup kale

  • 1 tbsp. almond butter

  • β…” cup (150ml) coconut water

  • 1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder, optional

Here’s how to make it:

  1. Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blitz until smooth.

  2. Serve immediately.

Note: The protein powder is optional but adds a boost of protein. You can use whey or any plant-based protein powder. You can also replace the protein powder with a few tablespoons of Greek yoghurt (in that case, reduce the amount of liquid).

Enjoy!
