17 protein smoothies to eat before, after, and instead of eating
If after this post you don’t go into the kitchen and make yourself a smoothie, then you are a completely insensitive person!
We all know from early childhood that healthy food does not have a pleasant taste, and everything tasty is very harmful to the body. Apparently, this is expressed in some kind of higher justice and the rule of general equilibrium. However, sometimes this matrix fails, and we manage to get acquainted with both tasty and healthy products. In this article you will find some amazingly delicious summer smoothies, for which your body will thank you so much.
The peculiarity of this collection of recipes is that it contains only smoothies with a high protein content. Thus, this delicious and nutritious mixture can not only complement, but also successfully replace your breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the same time, one should not take too literally the given schemes and try to reproduce them in absolute accuracy. You can very easily replace some ingredients with others, for example, Greek yogurt with kefir, and too exotic fruits with the ones at your disposal. You will like the result anyway.
