Nutritious, Delicious Smoothie

This regularly scores among the most nutritious foods in my tracking. It is simple, delicious, and guaranteed to give you the energy you need to power through. I like them for breakfast, but it’s great as an afternoon pick me up, too. You can make it with whatever fruit you have on hand, but this combination is my absolute favorite. The trick for texture is the frozen fruit added to the Greek yogurt and non-frozen banana. You can add protein powder if you want, but the Greek yogurt gives a ton of good protein, too. I often add creatine powder, too.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup (or 4 chunks) of frozen Pineapple

  • 1/4 cup (or 2 medium) of frozen Strawberries

  • 1/4 cup of frozen Blueberries

  • 1/4 cup of fresh Baby Spinach

  • 1/4 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt (I like Fage Lactose Free)

  • 1/4 cup of no-sugar added tart cherry juice

  • A splash of almond milk

  • 1 Banana

DIRECTIONS

Add all the ingredients to a Ninja blender or Vitamix, and let it cook. Enjoy the boost it will give you!
