If you’re ever in need of a Green Smoothie that doesn’t taste like grass, start here!
This guy is filled with a balance of each of the three macronutrients, includes a generous amount of greens and a touch of superfoods. Let’s take a dive!
BANANA:an easily digestible carbohydrate full of potassium, fiber, as well as vitamins C and B.
SPINACH: antioxidant-filled greens, rich in fiber, vitamin A, iron and protein. Popeye food!
SPIRULINA: a blue-green algae high in protein, iron, B vitamins, and magnesium. Per 1 tbsp:
4g protein, 1g fat, 2g carbohydrates. If you found this helpful or interesting you can learn more about the nutrition facts of foods on my Macronutrient Guides in the NN shop. Click here!
AVOCADO: a beauty food, full of fiber, vitamin E and healthy fats for aiding in nutrient absorption, keeping you fuller for longer and making this smoothie extra creamy and dreamy!
ALMOND MYLK: a dairy-free alternative to milk. Rich in calcium and protein. Click here to order a bottle of Pure Vanilla or Beetle Mylk from the Nourishing Nelli Almond Mylk line.
GREENS POWDER: none in particular; use whichever brand you like here, but some of my favorites are Amazing Grass, Flora, and Green Vibrance. This provides you with extra green vegetables in an easily digestible form.
PROTEIN POWDER: plant-based, easily digestible, supports lean muscle growth, balanced blood sugar levels.
GINGER: The queen of digestion and anti-inflammatory benefits! Add to anything and everything!
