Meatless Monday: Banana Mango Peanut Butter Berry Protein Power Smoothie

Happy Monday!

After spending the weekend at my father’s home–cooking, care-giving and working  around

around the house, I realized that I would have to make a nutritious “smoothie meal” out

out of whatever I  could scrounge up in my kitchen.

Lucky for me, I found the necessary fruit, greens, healthy fats and superfoods to create

enough protein-packed smoothie for two substantial meals!

Hemp hearts, chia seeds and peanut butter boost the plant-based protein power.

Adding avocado, hemp, chia seeds and flaxseed provides Omega-3 fatty acids and other

important nutrients.

The inclusion of healthy fats from avocado and peanut butter also helps to make this smoothie

even tastier and creamier!

Kale and organic green powder provides lots of vitamins and antioxidants.

This recipe made a blender full of goodness so I poured the finished smoothie into two mason jars.

I drank one jar for lunch and refrigerated the other one for a mid-afternoon snack.
