In Lizzo’s words, “You can have it all - no sacrifice!”
That’s how we feel about this protein mint smoothie; it’s creamy, refreshing, has a sneaky bit of chocolate in it, and it’s way healthier than you can imagine!
With a 100% plant-based recipe, this delicious drink is also vegan-friendly and gluten-free. It could be the perfect gateway to introduce more protein or veggies into your diet, (or your kids’) quick and pain-free.
It packs 42 grams of complete protein, and you can whip it up in less than five minutes, which makes it an excellent alternative for busy mornings. If a day sneaks up on you without a banana in sight and no breakfast at hand, reach for this healthy option instead of muffin or sugary donut.
