Notes
Blending Note:
Start with using 1 cup of milk if you like drinking thick smoothies with a straw. Then, add more liquid after blending until you reach your desired consistency.
This recipe will give you about 24-32 ounces of finished smoothie with about 25 grams of protein. If you would like more protein based on your personal preferences, go ahead and add a scoop of protein powder. It’s the simplest way to increase the protein level without changing the consistency of the smoothie.
Optional Add-ins:
Try one or more of these boosters for added taste and nutrition
- 1 scoop protein powder (if you’re looking to max out your protein intake)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (for rich, nutty texture and flavor)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for those chocolate lovers used to taste of chocolate protein powder smoothies and shakes)
- 1 tbsp raw honey (for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties with an extra dose of sweetness, especially if you add unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 1 tbsp ground spice (try cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom to give it an extra kick of flavor)
