Smoothies are one of the quickest and easiest ways to have a protein-rich meal or snack. They also are an excellent way to get nutrient dense foods such as leafy greens, fibre rich seeds and healthy fats.
We've got 3 delicious high protein smoothies recipes here that combine protein, healthy fats, fibre and nutrient dense fruits and vegetables.
To create a balanced smoothie, we always recommend adding a source of protein, such as a high quality whey isolate, pea protein, or greek yoghurt. A well balanced smoothie should keep you feeling satiated for 2-4 hours, so it's the ideal start to your day!
