Protein Smoothie: Top 5 Recipes

No matter your fitness goals, protein smoothies can be one of the best options to support a healthy lifestyle.

But the key word here is can.

If you look at the nutritional value of some restaurant or fast food smoothies, you’d probably be shocked at the amount of sugar in your smoothie. The truth is, this is how these places get people hooked – but it’s no way to support a healthy diet.

That’s why it’s best to make your own protein smoothies at home, so you know exactly what’s in them. Here are my top 5 recipes for protein smoothies:

Remember, whether you’re trying to build muscle or just lose weight, protein shakes are essential. Not only do they support new lean muscle growth, but they also help keep you full and satisfied.
