The Key to Smoothies

simplegreensmoothiesThe key to replacing meals with green smoothies is including healthy fats and proteins. Healthy fats and proteins are the way to go if you want to power up with green smoothies as a meal replacement. This combo will keep you feeling full and give you the energy you need to cruise right through ’til your next snack or meal.
STEP 1 // PICK A PLANT-BASED PROTEIN
Plant-based proteins keep your body full and give you tons of energy. They also help repair your muscles, which is perfect for that post-workout buzz. Oh, kale to the yeah!

Chia seeds

Almond butter
Chia seeds (yep, here they are again! These babies are loaded with healthy fats and protein, making them a great everyday booster)
