Vanilla Walnut Key 3 Smoothie

Are you ready for a smoothie that tastes like a vanilla milkshake but is secretly packed with all kinds of amazing health benefits? Say hello to the hearty smoothie! It’s not only quick and delicious but it’ll keep you full and satisfied until lunchtime. And that’s not all – this smoothie is a real powerhouse when it comes to supporting your gut health, balancing your hormones, and regulating your blood sugar. Translation: you’ll be feeling energized, focused, and ready to take on whatever the day throws your way! Plus, with all the digestion-boosting goodness packed into this sip, you’ll be keeping your body and mind in tip-top shape. So go ahead and indulge in this tasty treat – your gut microbes (and taste buds) will thank you!

Also – this isn’t like your typical smoothie that fills you up for exactly 2 seconds – this nourishes your body and should keep you full for a few hours at least! 

Here are some tips:

  • Don’t hesitate to use frozen fruits and veggies, they are equally healthy as fresh. I actually prefer frozen since I can always keep some on hand (unless it’s winter then I prefer fresh).
  • If you’re using frozen spinach just use a tiny bit (not a whole handful).
  • For protein powers, we love Nuzest and Truvani. It’s essential to choose one that you like – it can make all the difference! You can also use collagen if you prefer but keep in mind that collagen powders don’t have that vanilla flavour. Just ensure you’re using enough scoops to get the 20g of protein.
  • If you don’t have one of the ingredients, just swap it out for something that you do have. The key is getting enough protein, fibre, and fats.
