Perfect for a quick breakfast or a post-workout snack, this smoothie offers a balance of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein to keep you energized throughout the day.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If using fresh pineapple, chop it into small, manageable pieces.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- Pour 1 cup of orange juice into your blender.
- Add 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder to the blender with the orange juice. This ensures it mixes well and prevents clumping.
- Pour 1 tablespoon (14g) of flaxseed oil into the blender. This will add a smooth, nutty texture and a dose of healthy fats.
- Add the chopped pineapple (1 cup) and the peeled banana (120g) into the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If needed, you can stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well blended.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more orange juice and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor. If fresh pineapple is not available, you can use frozen pineapple chunks.
- Opt for a ripe banana to add natural sweetness to the smoothie, eliminating the need for additional sweeteners.
- Make sure to blend the smoothie thoroughly to ensure a smooth and creamy texture, especially when using flaxseed oil.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can add a few ice cubes before blending.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding a handful of spinach for extra nutrients or substituting the orange juice with coconut water for a different flavor profile.
With its refreshing taste and nutrient-packed ingredients, the Pineapple Flax and Protein Smoothie is a fantastic way to kickstart your day or recover after a workout. Simple to make and incredibly tasty, this smoothie is a quick solution to boost your nutrition effortlessly.
