Pro to Go: The Nutrient-Packed Smoothie You’ll Crave Every Day

Would any of you say no to a good probiotic and protein power boost today? I’ve been making one of these every single day for almost 10 years straight! You will absolutely love this smoothie! It combines my favorite PRObiotic- kefir, with whey PROtein and all the minimal essentials for the most nutrient-dense smoothie I could go to fast! For some reason, I always seem to be on the run somewhere… But I know if I have this smoothie then- come what may the rest of the day- I can be sure that I got the good stuff my body wants and needs to truly thrive. (Hence my PRO To Go name 😉) This smoothie is sweet, and nutrient-rich. You can load it with all kinds of fruits and other leafy greens or even your favorite nut butter! Spinach is non-negotiable in all my smoothies!

TANNA’S PRO TO GO SMOOTHIE

Ingredients

1-2 cups kefir (try my homemade kefir here)

¼ cup frozen wild blueberries

¼ cup frozen raspberries

1 scoop of chocolate protein powder

2 handfuls of frozen OR 2 cups fresh spinach

Water OR almond milk

Place all ingredients into a blender. Add water or almond milk, depending on how thick you like the consistency. Blend until smooth. By the way, I never measure my fruit; I just throw it in. Often, it ends up being ½-¾ cups, so load up on all the fruit colors if it sounds yummy!

Here are some fun additions you can make for a big bang of nutrients:

Any other berry

Bananas

Flax seeds

Chia seeds

Bee pollen

Greek yogurt

Kale

Microgreens

Dates

Dulse (salty dried green leaf from the sea loaded with iodine and so good for thyroid)

THE POWER BEHIND THE INGREDIENTS

Kefir- If you've been following me for a while, you already know how much I LOVE kefir and its incredible probiotic benefits. It’s a game-changer for gut health, super simple to make, and easy to incorporate into your diet. Plus, it supports a strong immune system and boosts mental health! Check out my YouTube series on Kefir here!

Berries- These colorful tiny but mighty foods are great antioxidants, immunity support- think vitamin C, and sources of fiber! The bright colors are loaded with Polyphenols that literally capture the light from the sun and enter your body with disease fighting abilities and even fight stress from aging!

Protein Powder- Protein not only keeps you full but majorly supports muscle QUALITY. It aids in weight management because protein naturally stimulates the GLP-1 in your body and makes you feel full! With the complete amino acid profile it allows your muscles to be full of what it need to keep energy up and, for recovery from exercise, it is critical! (More on protein and the different kinds here!)

Spinach- this powerhouse superfood is worth the hype!

Its superpowers reduce oxidative stress, help prevent cancer and even lower blood pressure levels! Another color-rich food loaded with greens to make a difference in your longevity… I love to throw this leafy green in everything I can think of- smoothies, pancakes, salads, alfredo sauces, scrambled eggs and omelets, dips, pizza topping (a favorite of mine!) and SO MUCH MORE!

When it’s frozen, it’s also literally TASTELESS!
