Blueberry power protein smoothie
Smoothies can make a really quick on the go breakfast option. However most smoothies don’t contain enough protein and we often need to add a protein powder to ensure adequate protein. At the moment my current favourite is the vanilla flavour by Nuzest. It doesn’t taste artificial like many of the vanilla protein powders out there. For this recipe we have used Arctic Berries blueberry powder which is made from blueberries that come from the Arctic forests of Finland, but you can substitute with fresh or frozen blueberries. Don’t be put off by the fact this contains cauliflower you really can’t taste it!

the health boost tip
For this recipe we used Nuzest’s clean lean vanilla protein powder. 1 scoop should provide about 25g protein. Do make sure to chose your protein powder wisely to address your nutritional needs. Seek professional help from a qualified practitioner before adding superfood powders or supplements.
