Notes

Nutritional Breakdown

This smoothie has the right balance to keep you full for hours! Honestly, nothing is worse than having a smoothie only to find yourself hungry again within the hour. Let's go over the nutrition basics, shall we:

448 calories
20 grams of fat
39 grams of carbs
7 grams of fat
33 grams of protein (depending on which protein powder you use - I used Clean Simple Eats vanilla whey protein powder)

Can I lessen the calories slightly?

Sure! Simply using half of the almond butter (1 tbsp) cuts out about 100 calories bringing the fats down to 11 grams and the calories totaling 350. It still keeps the smoothie balanced and delicious while making it slightly lighter. You could also use half of the banana, just be mindful that it may yield a thinner smoothie and decrease the fiber. Depending on your goals, these would be great options!

Can I make this smoothie vegan?

Absolutely, this smoothie can easily be vegan by simply swapping the whey protein for a plant-based vanilla protein powder of your choosing. This is also a great option for all dairy-free people.

Storage Information

I don't recommend storing this. It's best enjoyed right after blending!
