Protein is incredibly important for our bodies and is used for healthy hair, skin, and bones. Plus utilizing a protein powder in your morning breakfast can prevent overeating during the day. The secret to mixing something up that you go crazy over is finding a balance between the protein you use and the sweet and savory add-ins of our choice.

We’ve taken the guess work out of the protein and smoothie combo and provided you with our absolute favorite smoothie recipes. Each recipe has 8 or more grams of protein (from our MyNurish Whey Protein as well as the additional superfoods) and are derived from whole food sources.
