Protein smoothies
Protein Smoothies
They are popular for a reason.
When I’m looking at my clients’ food & symptom journals, the most common finding is that they don’t get enough protein and usually it’s because they aren’t getting enough at breakfast and/or lunch.
Sometimes it’s because high protein foods aren’t convenient enough to fit into their schedule. Sometimes they are on a restricted diet and haven’t quite figured out how to meet their needs. But whatever the reason, one solution that I find helpful is a protein smoothie.
Need a recipe?
In both my Nourish Your Roots and the online class, Nutrition 101: Metabolic Reset, I cover protein needs in detail. You get handouts for the fridge with a list of foods and how much protein they have and how to get what you need on a vegan, vegetarian or omnivore diet.
But I can give you my recipes here! First, I have a pdf that you can download for the fridge that gives you my formula so you can make substitutions that suit your own needs and tastes.

Protein Powders

| Take the headache out of supplement shopping! |
Protein powders have been as hard to navigate as the yogurt isle! Decide what protein source you want/need, look out for sweeteners (I like stevia only) and unwanted ingredients, then decide if you want extras.
You can get protein from collagen, marine collagen, whey (dairy), pea, hemp, rice… am I missing something? You can get JUST protein, or you can get the equivalent of a good multivitamin in there, liver/detox support or gut healing ingredients. You can get vanilla, chocolate, berry flavored. You can even get an elemental formula for severe gastrointestinal illness.
Because I have an online dispensary, I have (and therefore YOU have) access to really high end products from the top professional lines. We often call them “medical food”. I encourage you to get on my Fullscript site, create an account and search my favorites for protein powders. If you need extra help, just reach out. Remember, I get a small commission on these sales (so don’t feel bad asking for help)! But I adjust the price right down so you get a price similar to Amazon (I like to give my people access to the best products!).

If you find yourself wanting to understand more about your protein needs… heck, ALL your nutrition needs… then please consider joining me in October and November for my next session of Nourish Your Roots. I put EVERYTHING into this class and people who take it come out experts in working WITH their bodies instead of against them.

You won’t get this kind of comprehensive health education and coaching anywhere else. I’d love for you to join us. It's like graduate school for the Care and Feeding of YOU!
