Green Protein Smoothie
Simple green smoothie with an extra portion of protein.
The Green Protein Smoothie is the perfect start to a health-conscious day. Green smoothies often taste very "grassy," but our version combines the nutrient-rich power of fresh baby spinach with the fine sweetness of green apple and banana. By adding high-quality whey or pea protein, we transform the classic vitamin drink into a complete snack that optimally supplies your muscles and keeps you full for a long time. The fiber from the flaxseeds also promotes healthy digestion. It is the fastest way to consume a large amount of micronutrients (Vitamin K, folate, iron) at once without sacrificing excellent taste.
