The 2 S Smoothie

 

Notes

Satisfying and Satiating Green Smoothie Recipe
Paige Mandel, MS RD CDN
 
Inspired by Mr. Greengenes Juice Generation Smoothie
 
This smoothie is one of my favorite on-the-go breakfasts or mid-day snacks. My favorite part is that I usually have most of these ingredients on hand, so it is so easy to throw together in a pinch. Not only does making this smoothie save $12-16 by making it at home, but I am more mindful of fulfilling my 2 S’s: Satisfaction and Satiation, the intention of every meal and snack. By incorporating a combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fat, I can count on this smoothie to not only nourish my palate, but actually keep me full for more than a few minutes. While I love my Mr. Greengenes, and it most definitely has the satisfaction factor, it lacks satiation for me- that’s why I choose to add in the nut butter and protein power to give it “staying power”. Packed with B vitamins, fiber, iron, vitamin C, and potassium this combo is not only delicious but nutritious!
 
Pro tip: mix fresh and frozen fruit for optimal thickness consistency
