This delectable smoothie recipe blends sweet raspberries and nutritious spinach with creamy avocado, almond milk, and low-carb protein powder for that ultimate filling effect. Perfect for a quick meal on a busy morning, prep before a workout, or just as a health-conscious snack, this smoothie is packed full of flavor and will keep you buzzed all day long.
Sometimes you’re just not in the mood for a heavy, savory breakfast. That’s when the smoothie really shines: a light, refreshing, and creamy drink as nutritious and filling as a full meal, that’s super quick, easy to prepare, and can be consumed on the go.
This recipe calls for an array of ingredients that not only taste amazing but also pack a healthy punch. Raspberries are an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins C and E, which help eliminate toxic substances in the body known as free radicals. Spinach is another nutrition powerhouse, boasting high levels of iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A. Avocado brings that thick creamy texture to your smoothie and is packed full of healthy fats. Lastly, almond milk is low in carbs and calories but rich in bone-building calcium and antioxidants.
MCT oil and vanilla extract make for the cherry on top in this recipe, bringing a hint of sweetness to your tasty breakfast beverage. Throw in a half a scoop of low-carb protein powder to keep things keto-friendly and give you that extra protein boost, and you’ll be all set to go for the day!
