It can be a challenge to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you are a person who is constantly on the move. Nutrition can sometimes suffer if you aren’t able to adequately make time for a healthy meal or snack. Luckily, the nutrition Gods created smoothies. Smoothies are a great way to get your protein, fruits and veggies into your diet without a major hassle. Especially if you are like me and hate eating salads, just throw some kale in a smoothie and bam, you can’t even taste it! Smoothies can be used as a meal replacement, healthy snack or the ultimate post workout supplement. I have three smoothie recipes that are not only super yummy but will also help you hit those goals! These recipes are simple to make and usually take a max of 5 minutes, so yes you can hit the snooze button in the morning now that you are saving 20 minutes by making a shake instead.
Enjoy!
