Creamy Green Protein Smoothie

Smoothies are a staple for us, especially in summer, whether it is a filling breakfast shake or a light fruity smoothie. There are SO many options as to what you can add in your smoothies, you can make them as simple or complex as you want! This smoothie has literally been my GO-TO for the past 8-9 months, it is full of carbs, protein, and healthy fats to keep me full and energized for the morning. I am a fan of thicker, creamier smoothies, but if that is not your thing feel free to add more non-dairy milk to make it the consistency you want. More smoothie recipes will be to come soon for the summer! Comment below what your favourite smoothie combination is at the moment.
