This smoothie recipe is suitable to replace a meal. I often have a meal-replacement smoothie and find that, with the right ingredients, it can keep me going well past lunchtime if I need it to. The trick is to include some healthy fat and a good dose of protein. Many folks like to use protein powders, but I much prefer using oats or other protein-rich foods. We have put some tips at the end of the post for protein powder substitutes.
The recipe comes from Liz at TexanErin, who says …
Tart cherries, spicy ginger and the juice of a whole lime are guaranteed to wake up your taste buds after the first sip. For all-day energy, I add Greek yogurt, protein powder and flax seeds. They also make the smoothie super creamy and rich.
