Replace afternoon coffee with this green energy smoothie recipe

If you are like me and find yourself dragging in the afternoon, you might want to try this energizing green smoothie.

I used to tend to grab a cup of coffee to push through the late-afternoon slump. However, I’ve recently discovered that this green tea smoothie is a much healthier choice to keep me going.

Plus, it’s packed with loads of feel-good fruits and veggies and a bit of the Homemade Protein Powder to help me feel full until dinner time.


Green Energy Smoothie

1 cup brewed green tea

1 cup fresh cut pineapple

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey

2 tablespoons Homemade Protein Powder 

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy.
