Four Smoothies To Get You Through The Morning

Let’s smoothie!

Smoothies are hotter than ever right now (and my guess would be for always!) because they’re easy to make, tasty (did I just say that?), nutritious and there are so many ways to enjoy them. The best part, you have full control of the consistency, ingredients/ and ingredients you throw in the blender. With that being said, if you’re brand new to the smoothie movement (welcome!) It can seem a bit daunting as to what to use, how much of it to use, what the base ingredient. 

We’ve rounded up some of our favs to share with you.

The Oaty
_______________

• 1/4 cup oats
• 3/4 cups of oat milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
• 1ish bananas ( I like to use frozen but you can use room temp and add ice cubes)
• Handful of chopped frozen spinach
• Handful of chopped frozen kale
• 1 tbsp of chia seeds 
• 1/2*-1 scoop vegan protein powder (or protein powder of choice, hemp protein is awesome here as well)
  
  
  
  The Blue
  ______________
  
• 3/4 cup of oat milk
• 1/2*- 1 scoop of protein powder (I use a vegan plant based one but you can use which ever! A vanilla flavoured on goes nicely here definitely not chocolate hahaha)
• Handful of frozen blueberries
• 1 frozen banana
• A few cashews
• 1 tbsp of hempseeds

*Typically there is anywhere from 18g-22g per scoop of protein, which is too much for me so I like to use half the scoop bringing it down to 9g-11g of protein per serving.
