I’ve wanted to try a smoothie for a long time; they always look so delicious and healthy. Since they are more or less a meal replacement, I was worrying that the smoothie wouldn’t fill my belly as a normal meal, especially because you’re drinking and not eating it. I’m sure most of that was just my mind playing some trick on me because I got hungry more or less as usual, maybe only slightly earlier. If I think of the smoothie as a snack or small meal, I really like the raspberry – chocolate – protein smoothie…

Ingredients
- 50g raspberries (frozen)
- 1 (small) apple (e.g. Granny Smith)
- 50g spinach (frozen / defrosted)
- 150 – 200ml chocolate protein drink (e.g. Valio ProFeel)
- 10 almonds
- Cinnamon or cocoa (to garnish)
(The nutritional info is based on 200ml protein drink (Valio ProFeel) and cinnamon to garnish)
Preparation
Step 1:
Chop the apple and the almonds roughly.
Step 2:
Add all ingredients (except from the cinnamon or cocoa) to a blender.
Step 3:
Blend.
Step 4:
Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with cinnamon or cocoa.
Step 5:
Enjoy your smoothie.
The smoothie tastes pretty much like raspberry and chocolate – which is why I gave it this name. I hoped to taste the apple and the spinach more though, so I guess next time I’ll just use a bit less raspberries…
Have you tried smoothies? What are your favourite ones?
XOXO
