As always, we like to bring you nutritious, healthy smoothies that will boost your health rather than deplete it. This one is no exception as it contains a wide range of nutrients and fiber, too.
This one is gluten-free for those of you who need to be careful about that. If gluten is an issue for you and you decide to switch out the protein powder for oats, then check they are certified gluten-free.
And if you do not have to worry about gluten, you can still enjoy it, too.
The recipe comes from EAStewart, the SpicyRD, and the details are at the end of the post. She says …

Recipe: Secret Ingredient Nut Butter Power Smoothie
Serves 1
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe Banana
- ? cup frozen Butternut Squash
- 1 scoop Protein Powder *
- 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup non-dairy “Milk”, or your milk of choice, add more if thinner drink is required
- ? teaspoon ground Turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground Cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
- 1 cup Ice
Blend until smooth, pour into a glass and top with a little extra cinnamon. Enjoy.
* Protein powder is not to everyone’s taste. If that is you, then …
Try one of these Protein Powder Substitutes:
- 1/4 cup Oats gives 6 grams protein
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese gives 12 grams
- 1/2 cup Quinoa gives 12 grams protein
- Add 2 cups of Spinach to any of these and you increase your protein by another 10 grams. (Note you’ll lose the lovely color but that’s a small price to pay for that extra protein, if that’s what you need.)
