**The Ultimate Green Protein Smoothie Recipe**

 

In the bustling rhythm of modern life, finding time to ensure we're fueling our bodies with the right nutrients can be a challenge. Enter the hero of the hour: the green smoothie. Not just any green smoothie, though. We're talking about a delicious, protein-packed concoction that's as fun to make as it is to drink. Let's dive into a recipe that's been a game-changer for many at Thriving With Health.

 What you'll need:

**Ingredients**

  • 1 cup fresh spinach 

  • juice of 1 lime or lemon

  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen) or 1 green granny apple cored and sliced

  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds

  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds 

  • A dash of cinnamon

  • 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder

  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice or water) - Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

**Instructions:**

  • Blend Your Greens: Blend the spinach and almond milk or water until smooth. This ensures your smoothie is lump-free and perfectly green.

  • Add the Goodies: Toss in the lemon or lime juice, berries, or apple, flax seeds, hemp seeds, and protein powder. These ingredients are not just flavor enhancers; they're packed with nutrients that support muscle repair, brain function, and overall health.

  • Spice It Up: Add a dash of cinnamon for a warming touch. Cinnamon is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and adds a subtle spice that complements the berries beautifully.

  • Blend to Perfection: Add ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie, and blend until smooth and creamy.

  • Enjoy: Pour into your favorite glass, sip, and savor the knowledge that you're nourishing your body in the most delicious way possible.

Why This Smoothie?

In a world where fast food and processed meals are the easy go-tos, this green smoothie stands as a testament to the power of whole foods. It's not just a drink; it's a nutrient-dense meal that supports your health goals without compromising on taste.

Plus, it's incredibly versatile. Feel free to swap out ingredients based on what's in season or what you have on hand. The goal is to enjoy the process as much as the product.

**A Time Saver Too!**

One of the best parts about this smoothie? It's a massive time saver. In just 5 minutes, you can have a meal that's rich in protein, fiber, omega-3s, and antioxidants. It's the perfect breakfast for those mornings when time is of the essence, or a quick and satisfying post-workout meal.

**Closing Thoughts**

At Thriving With Health, we believe that taking care of your body shouldn't be a chore. It should be a joyous, delicious adventure. This green smoothie is a testament to that belief. So, blend up this green goodness, and here's to your health—sip by sip! 

Remember, the journey to health is as much about enjoying the process as it is about the results.

💚 Cheers to a healthier, happier you!

About Me

My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
