Raspberry-banana protein-powerhouse smoothie

Get all your body needs from the get-go 
and start your day with the best nature has to offer.

Chris and I regularly drink this smoothie 6 times a week for breakfast. It saves us a lot of time as we sip it during our morning routine. As the smoothie is really filling, you will be satisfied too. Occasionally we would also have one or two additional pieces of Ezekiel bread topped with organic peanut butter, home-made macademia butter and agave nectar but we normally save this for one or two hours later. Just like us you can keep your metabolism running high and nurture your body with all day long superior nutrition!

• As you will have to buy two different protein powders, you might be tempted to replace them with your own whey protein powder but a powder made out of milk-fat such as whey insulate will not provide all the easy-digestible, fat-burning power of Hemp and sprouted beans protein. Both proteins will last a while and will save you trips to the grocery store, time and money ( as this smoothie can be a meal replacement) I get mine on Amazon (cheaper and easier) here: Garden of life raw protein and here: Nutivia raw protein powder
• We sometimes substitute the fruits in the smothie with pears, mangoes, strawberries, apples, mixed berries.... You can be creative but red fruits such as berries should be on your priority list.
• Once blended, the smothie can last 24 hours in your fridge (even though it's best to drink it while fresh). Poor into a glass and cover with some transparent film before putting away.
• You can also use this smoothie as a very efficient post-workout protein drink. Best if absorbed within 30mn after your workout.
