Avocado Pineapple Protein Smoothie

I made this delicious protein shake that I wanted to share with you. I've been experimenting with different flavor combinations to keep my protein shakes interesting. 

I start with a handful of spinach in the bottom of the blender. I add spinach to every shake I make because you can't taste it and it is an easy way to add in another serving of green vegetables. I added a 1/2 cup of canned pineapples, a 1/2 of avocado, 1/2 of banana, one scoop of vanilla protein powder and water to blend. 

This was seriously delicious. It's a great post-workout recovery drink with a good mix of healthy protein, carbs and fats. The avocado provides healthy fats and gives the shake a creamy smooth texture. This might be my favorite flavor combination yet.

Lean and Green Protein Smoothie

A green smoothie is a delicious way to sneak in an extra serving of leafy green veggies. Add spinach to your shake and you won't even taste it!  I usually enjoy a protein shake as the perfect post-workout meal. It is an easy, tasty way to replenish those carbs and get in the muscle recovery protein after a workout. Enjoy within 30 minutes after your workout for best results.
