Green Protein Shake to Stay Awake! *Helps Caffeine Addicts*
I love making protein smoothies for breakfast, before the gym, or when I need a pick-me-up. I’ve cut my caffeine intake, too. I used to drink at least 4 cups of coffee a day. Now I’m drinking one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The energy in my green shakes keep me feeling great without the caffeine and I don’t get a crash.
My protein shake had 1/2 Large banana, 1/2 apple, 1 1/2 cup almond milk, 2 cups ice, 1 cup fresh kale, 1 cup fresh spinach, 1/2 packet True Lemon, and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder!
I was just wondering how that Shake came out green…I’ve been reading the ingredients and I just don’t get it 😉 let me know if I’m crazy lol
You’re not crazy lol I’m the crazy one who forgot the green ingredients in my green smoothie! Whoops! Just 1 cup of spinach and one cup of kale! 🙂
Sounds yummy! What makes it green?
Spinach and Kale 🙂
Hi! What is the green ingredient? It’s not listed. Thanks!
I can’t believe I forgot the green ingredients in my GREEN SMOOTHIE! sometimes I don’t know about myself! I just added them into the post. I added 1 cup of spinach and one cup of kale!
I just added this feed to my bookmarks. I really like reading your posts. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! 🙂
Any thoughts on iced coffee in green smoothies? I’ve been considering trying it!
I like to put iced coffee in vanilla or banana smoothies! Oh and pumpkin!
What kind of a blender do you have and what is your process for making the smoothie?
Hey, I was wondering if i could substitute the milk for water? And, if I don’t have true lemon what I could put instead? Absolutely love your blog! It’s my go-to for healthy food options!
I don’t like bananas, what do I use to replace the banana in this smoothie
How do you measure your greens? Is it 1 cup packed or 1 cup loose packed?
