Protein Shakes, Smoothies & Green Juices

Protein smoothies are a great alternative for a quick breakfast on the go or to have as a snack. Some general guidelines to make a smoothie are to first choose a base (e.g. water, unsweetened almond, rice or light coconut milk, or iced green tea), then adding some greens (e.g. spinach, kale, rocket etc.), and colour (berries and fruit). By adding ingredients like ice, chia seeds,hemp seeds, psyllium husk you will thicken your smoothie to a creamier consistency. You can also flavour you smoothie a bit more by adding stevia, spices and herbs. Finally give your smoothie a boost by adding some protein powder, superfoods and probiotics. Your options are endless! For some quick tasty ideas please see the recipes below.

Notes

Please be aware of the difference between a protein smoothie and a protein shake. When the meal
plan is referring to a protein shake, it refers a serve of your protein powder mixed with water or almond milk. When the meal plan is referring to a smoothie use any of the recipes below.

And a green juice is a great way to get more fibrous veggies and phytonutrients into your diet in a quick and easy way especially on Low Cal and Low Carb days.

Protein Shakes
I recommend the following two options for vegan
protein powder:
• The Protein Works
• Juice Plus Complete
