Smoothies are one of my all time FAVORITE foods, especially for breakfast or lunch! I have been experimenting more with steamed + frozen cauliflower and avocado as the base because I find that these smoothies keep me fuller and also don’t spike my blood sugar levels the same way bananas do. With that being said, I still love throwing bananas in my smoothies, but I don’t do it everyday anymore. I have also been experimenting with bone broth protein as it’s great for healing the gut, keeps you full + is lower in carbs. I really enjoy the taste of Ancient Nutrition Chocolate + Vanilla Bone Broth Protein as well as the Vanilla Collagen Powder. (Note: I only put 1/2 scoop of protein powder with 1/2 – 1 scoop of collagen powder per serving as 1 scoop made me feel too full!)
This smoothie is packed with healthy fat, fiber, protein + of course greens and satisfies my sweet tooth with the chocolate + PB combo 🙂
