5 Healthy Smoothie Recipes
I love how each of these high protein fruit smoothie recipes is a different color and completely different flavors — that way it feels like you’re changing up what you’re eating even though your body still gets tons of nutrients and deliciousness. Plus different colors means different types of vitamins and minerals.
Sip your way to a healthier breakfast by blending your produce each morning. These smoothie recipes will get your day started off right by packing in nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables, plus protein-filled yogurt and milk for an energy boost that will keep you going until lunch.
Eat the rainbow, right?
