Banana Nut Protein Smoothie
This is a protein-packed smoothie that will leave you satisfied for hours. Ingredients such as almonds, brazil nuts and cinnamon are known to lower blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, protect your heart and are rich in antioxidants. They are also anti-inflammatory so other than throwing in a big handful of baby spinach or kale, this smoothie is hard to beat. Finally, it’s thick and rich and so delicious you could call it a chocolate milkshake and no one would know how healthy it was!
