My Go To Smoothie Recipe
I love a smoothie, especially when I feel like I haven’t been making the best choices when it comes to eating. It allows me to pack in fruits and veggies, protein and healthy fats easily to kick start my day.
This is my go-to. I often call it my “kitchen clean out smoothie” because I will toss in anything that needs to be used in my fridge. So if you have the last bits of berries, celery, oranges, banana, etc, toss it in. I have also started adding ginger and turmeric to it and now I can’t have it without them.
A smoothie like this one, can vary in terms of macros and calories, depending on what you add, what brands you use for protein and portion size. So be careful if you are on a weight loss journey, because it’s very easy to think adding more is good, but it ends with high calories, fats and carbs. I’ll list you a typical smoothie for me below with macros so you can get a feel for what it looks like and can modify based on your goals and tastes. Feel free to get creative, mix flavours and try new things.
