Green smoothie time🌱 . Smoothies are always a great way to get extra greens and nutrients into your day! And when you mix them with the right ingredients, you won’t even taste them😉 . This smoothie is the perfect combination of veggies, fruit, protein and healthy fats! I also used all frozen produce in this smoothie which definitely helped make it extra thick and creamy😋 . Recipe: – 1 cup frozen spinach – 1 cup frozen strawberries – 1 cup frozen banana – 1/2 cup almond milk (I used @malkorganics) – 3/4 cup water – 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds – 1 tbsp flax seeds – 1 scoop protein powder (I used the vanilla warrior blend from @sunwarrior) . Blend all together until smooth and enjoy! I also topped mine with some sprouted buckwheat for a little extra crunch and added nutrient boost😊 . #smoothie #healthysmoothie #greensmoothie #eatyourveggies #eatyourgreens #eatyourcolors #fruitsandveggies #healthyeating #healthyeats #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #smoothierecipes #proteinsmoothie #vegansmoothie #healthyanddelicious #eatwell #eatwellbewell #eatwelllivewell #eatright #nutrition #nutritiousanddelicious #nutritiousfood #nutritioncoach #healthcoach #healthcommunity #healthcoachtips
