Green smoothies are super-healthy. Loaded with vitamins and minerals, they provide your body with the nutrients needed to fight off illness. Unfortunately, because they don’t contain much protein, they often aren’t nutritionally complete or filling. Soon after drinking, you could be hungry again.
That’s why I really like this recipe; as well as being green, it contains protein which makes it a much more nutritionally-balanced meal in a glass. Protein helps keep you fuller for longer, speeds up your metabolism for faster fat loss, and is important for recovery after exercise.
I often have this smoothie for breakfast, but you could have it for lunch or dinner too. Ready in seconds and very tasty, this is one of the best green smoothie recipes around!
