This smoothie I created is not only delicious, but it’s filling, packed with all kinds of goodness, including a total of 20g protein! Plus when you drink it straight out of the coconut, I feel as though I’ve been whisked off to a tropical island! Healthy and delicious – what more could a girl want 🙂
Each ingredient serves a purpose:
Whey Protein: helps support the rebuilding of muscles
Collagen Protein: supports joint, bone, and skin health
Blueberries: antioxidants
Coconut Meat: superfood naturally rich in saturated fats (i.e. medium chain triglycerides) to keep you full longer and satisfied
Coconut Water: electrolytes, refreshing
Almond Butter: tastes amazing with the coconut flavors, just a bit of omega-3s
