Metabolism-Boost Smoothie
This smoothie is one of my favorite post workout. It evolved a little over time, it's also good as a smoothie bowl with blueberries in it. Excellent post workout, or as a breakfast or high protein meal!
Ingredients
1 scoop vanilla XS Recharge protein powder OR 6 ounces vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt
8 almonds (or cashews)
1/4 cup broccoli florets, stems cut (If you don't like broccoli, I have used spinach, but about 1/2 cup)
1 cup frozen strawberries (or any preference of berries)
1/4 cup cannellini or garbanzo beans
3/4 cup water OR iced green tea (If you need an energy boost, the green tea really helps)
1 teaspoon flaxmeal (if you don't mind the crunch, you can just use the seeds)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Pour all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth.
Pour into a glass and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top. Enjoy immediately.
Makes 1 serving. See the nutritional info below.
