5 Healthy Protein Smoothies

March 31, 2017

Try out one of these tasty smoothies when you’re feeling hungry!

It’s important to keep your body fueled throughout the day. And what you put in your body is doubly important. You know by now that fried, greasy or overly processed foods are a big NO NO while you’re on this awesome health journey of yours. And since I’m here to help in any way that I can, I’m sharing some of my favorite protein smoothie recipes to help you during those weird in-between hours when it’s not time for the next meal and your last feels like a distant memory. (Hunger Danger Zone!) I have a Nutri Ninja that I love but you can use any plain ol’ blender.

Go check out my post about healthy snacking and preparing for snacking so that you’re always putting into your body things that will only benefit it.

**NOTE: When bananas in my house start to get overripe, I peel them, bag them and stick them in the freezer. They add awesome flavor to your smoothies, are perfect for baking and you’re not throwing them out. I hate wasting food. That said, if all you have are bananas of the regular, not-frozen variety, those work just as well!

Mocha Banana
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 banana, frozen
1 c. cold coffee
handful of spinach
2 T. fat free vanilla greek yogurt
A few ice cubes
OPTIONAL: 1 T ground flaxseed

Berry, Berry Tasty
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 ½-2 c. frozen berries (or fresh)
handful of spinach
½ c. low fat greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
1 1/4 c. almond/soy/fat free milk
A few ice cubes
OPTIONAL: 1 T ground flaxseed

Apple Pie
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 apple, cored and sliced
¼ c. uncooked oats
handful of spinach
2 T. fat free vanilla greek yogurt
sprinkle of cinnamon ( or to taste)
1 c almond/soy/fat free milk
OPTIONAL: 1 T ground flaxseed

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
2 T. peanut butter
1 ½ c. almond/soy/fat free milk
handful of spinach
OPTIONAL: 1 T ground flaxseed

Pumpkin Pie
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
½  c. pumpkin puree
1 T ground flaxseed
¼  c. uncooked oats
1 c. almond/soy/fat free milk
2 T. fat free vanilla greek yogurt
½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Tell me which is your favorite and then create your own! I’m obsessing over that Mocha Banana lately. Make sure to share in the comments any variations you come up with! Use the hashtag #JennaDanielleFitness to share your favorites on Instagram!

⠀⠀
First off, I love the texture—it’s super light and hydrating. Second, and probably most importantly: I look like I actually got some sleep (I didn’t) or that wasn’t blessed with bad genetics (I was).
⠀
@filorgausa wants to help you fake a good nights sleep, too, so they’re offering my followers $10 off a bottle of your very own Optim-Eyes! Use code IGEYES.
⠀
Adulting is hard, but you’ve got this, even if you need a little help here or there. 😆 👀

This year, I’d like to work on my photography skills. Being up in Sedona last week inspired me to get back to learning my camera. When I’m in a beautiful place, I want to capture it so that when I look back, I can remember exactly what it was like.

Amidst all of it, I’ve found a deep and happy peace. I am surrounded and supported by the most amazing people. I am finally unafraid to present myself as who I am (although at times it may be hard to describe!).

Thanks for being here, right now. I hope you’ll join me as I twirl my way through the next 12 months. Cheers! 🥂
