Easy Protein Smoothies
Smoothies are creamy, nutritious, and surprisingly satisfying. They’re a lifesaver when you’re short on time and need a quick protein boost. Plus, they’re an easy way to sneak in fiber and those often-overlooked micronutrients.
This post is dedicated to my clients—many of whom recently bought protein powder. Whether you’re in that group or just starting with protein supplements, I’m here to help you create something healthy and sustainable. The simpler it is to make, the easier it is to stick with—so these recipes are all under 5 ingredients.
Planning to try protein power and water shaken up in a bottle? Stop. Abort. Don’t you do that. It’s a sad, gritty place. You deserve better.
