Greens Protein Powerhouse

Greens Protein Powerhouse

At 28 grams of Protein, 348% Vitamin C, 46% Vitamin A, 27% Iron, 803 mg Potassium, 18.3 grams of Fiber and only 5.3 grams of fat, this Greens Smoothie is full of tons of antioxidants, fiber, protein and energy from "good carbs (66g) and natural sugars (32.9g)"!

*Remember, not all carbs and sugars are created equally so if counting or concerned about carbs, consuming fresh veggies and fruits are a rich source of carbs and natural sugar from fruits. I recommend stepping away from starchy carbs that promote weight gain and fatigue, but encourage to view veggies and fruits as a critical part of your clean eating lifestyle.

Can serve as a meal, post workout or anytime snack and a great way to get your daily dose of Greens & Fiber in one delicious drink. Modify per your liking of greens & fruit. This one is not as sweet as others, but is rich in taste and very satisfying.
