Looking for a way to feel amazing and power through your day? I call this the Feel Good Protein Smoothie Recipe because it tastes great and it’s loaded with ingredients to support your gut and brain health.
Why It’s Good for You
The protein milk and powder provide energy and curb cravings, while flax seeds offer fiber for digestion and gut health. Greek yogurt adds probiotics, and the berries and kale provide a boost of antioxidants and other nutrients. Fun fact! Kale contains a type of sugar (not your regular table sugar) called sulfoquinovose (SQ), which feeds the good bacteria in your gut.
