Smoothies featuring banana
Chocolate Sun Warrior Protein Smoothie
Are you looking to get some additional protein into your diet, or perhaps in need of a good protein source after working out? This recipe, featuring my number one protein supplement, will allow you to get that additional protein along with other vital nutrients in one delicious smoothie.
There are a large number of protein supplements on the market today, most of which aren’t worth your hard earned dollars. When people ask me, which is quite often, what protein powder I use in my smoothies, the answer is simple: Sun Warrior. Here are a few of the reasons why I love Sun Warrior protein.
Banana Bone Broth Smoothie
You’re probably thinking to yourself, bone broth in a smoothie? It’s extremely healthy, gelatinous, and tastes great, therefore it’s a perfect fit. As I’ve written many times before, if something is healthy and will blend, it’s a good candidate for your smoothies.
It never occurred to me to use bone broth (also known as stock) in a smoothie until I watched a recent video by Sarah of The Healthy Home Economist about Stock That Gels. Sarah mentions having a cup of stock with her breakfast every morning. Cool, but my morning meal is a smoothie 99% of the time. And then it hit me, why not add bone broth to my smoothie?
Ginger Spinach Green Smoothie
It’s no secret that I love to use various spices in my smoothies to boost nutrition and improve the taste. This recipe calls for one of my favorites, ginger. With ginger you get that signature peppery, sweet taste and a bunch of health benefits. Combined with a little spinach, frozen blueberries, and banana, and you’ll be rocking one healthy smoothie!
Quick aside, I recently purchased a new grater by Kyocera (Kyocera ceramic grater), which makes grating things like ginger and turmeric a breeze, and actually kind of fun. You can pick one up from Amazon for around $20. Highly recommended.
Apple Dandelion Green Smoothie
I often hear complaints from people who are sick and tired of rotating between only spinach and kale in their green smoothies. News flash! There’s a wide variety of green leafy veggies to choose from. Arugula, radish greens, swiss chard, collards, beet greens, lettuce, and one of my personal favorites, dandelion greens.
Cranberry Berry Smoothie
Try this delicious and highly nutritious cranberry berry smoothie as a tasty snack, sweet dessert, or healthy meal to start your day.
The combination of berries in this smoothie impart a great deal of vitamin C, dietary fiber, manganese, and vitamin K. They also offer much in the way of free radical scavenging antioxidants.
Cranberries are the star of this smoothie; so let’s take a closer look at how they support your health.
