When it comes to food, I like to keep things simple. My days are usually filled with clients and meetings, along with my own training sessions, so fussing over intricate recipes doesn’t fit into a typical day for me. There’s a common misconception that if you’re not slaving away in the kitchen for hours, then you’re probably eating nothing but carrot sticks or microwavable tray dinners, but that simply is not the case. Food can wow your tastebuds and fuel your body without being time-consuming, bland, or filled with a giant list of ingredients.
When I’m on-the-go, I love to whip up something quick and satisfying before heading out the door. If you’re busy like me and looking for an afternoon pick-me-up that’s short on time and big on flavor, I’ve got you covered with this delicious smoothie recipe.

Don’t let its simplicity fool you. This smoothie not only tastes fantastic, but is packed with protein, fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
