Enjoy some amazing green protein shake recipes to help you add vegetables to your diet while gearing up to crush your workout, recovering from leg day or fitting in a fast meal.
My favorite green smoothies are the specific green smoothies specifically designed for muscle building phase or fat burning phase.
Combine each ingredient below in a Vitamix or high speed blender and puree them until smooth. Try varying the amounts of water and ice to create the consistency that is most favorable for you. I love these smoothies with extra ice especially in the summer! Baby Spartan and I will often ditch the straw and “eat” these smoothies out by the pool with a spoon to beat the California heat. Nutrients and ingredients are incredible together. Be sure to use the nutrition information below to fit these shakes into your current nutrition program!
