Blueberry Spinach Protein Smoothie

This Blueberry Spinach Protein Smoothie is a quick and nourishing way to fuel your day. With banana, spinach, blueberries, and protein powder, it blends into a creamy, antioxidant-rich drink that supports energy, gut health, and satiety. Also, so easy to pack (and hide 😉) so much goodness into this delicious snack.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 banana
• 2 handfuls spinach
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 scoop high-quality protein powder
• Water (to blend)
• Crushed ice (to thicken, to taste)

Instructions:

1. Add banana, spinach, blueberries, protein powder, and water to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Add crushed ice and blend again until you reach your desired thickness.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes:

1. For an extra boost, you can add a few simple supplements right into your smoothie:
2. Collagen peptides – blend in without taste and support your gut lining, joints, skin, and hair.
3. Probiotic powder – helps nourish healthy gut bacteria for better digestion and immune support.
4. Ground flaxseed or chia seeds – add fiber, healthy fats, and help keep you feeling full longer.

These easy additions turn your smoothie into even more of a powerhouse for gut health and steady energy.
