Helpful tips
- For meal prep- make a smoothie pack ahead of time and have it ready to go . Place banana, kale and strawberries (or any fresh fruit) into a freezer safe ziplock bag and freeze it. Pull it out of the freezer and add in the coconut water and protein powder to the blender.
- From recipe testing this and some of my other smoothie recipes, I noticed that if I add a whole scoop of protein, even if it is a high quality brand, I still notice a bit of grittiness. Adding a whole scoop of protein is optional but I find using only a hefty tablespoon of it to be the sweet spot for taste and texture.
