BERRY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

Berries are rich in antioxidants therefore a top priority in my diet. I’m actively trying to lose weight and trying to feel full from nutrient dense meals, so a fruit smoothie with added protein is the perfect start.

INGREDIENTS

1 banana

1 cup mixed berries (can be frozen)

1 scoop protein powder

2 dates

3 tbs hemp seeds

agave syrup to taste

½ cup guava juice concentrate or almond milk

½ cup water

INSTRUCTIONS

Add bulkier items like the banana, dates, and mixed berries into the blender. I like using frozen berries when possible because they’re still as nutritious as fresh berries but they make the smoothie chiller faster. The banana adds creaminess and the date is a fun flavor and texture in my opinion.

Smaller items go in next, this includes the hemp seeds, protein powder. This protein powder is vegan and doesn’t have a weird aftertaste, though it is earthy so keep that in mind if you’re not a fan of flavors like matcha.

Lastly, add the liquids of your choice and blend thoroughly.

Enjoy! :)
