If you are anything like me eating healthy is one thing but the food has to taste good! And a lot of the time those two things don’t always go together. Here are a few simple and easy smoothie recipes for a quick fix before or after they gym, a midday snack or just a tasty low calorie treat. Of course, if you are looking for a protein boost now and again to build muscle (like my husband 😉 ) you can always add a few tablespoons of vanilla protein powder to the mix as well.
