Energizing Spinach and Protein Smoothie
Green Energy Smoothie Recipe – created by JLo
Energizing Spinach and Protein Smoothie. Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee or worse yet – a commercial brand “energy drink”, why not blend up a quick smoothie or juice that YOU know is filled with nourishing fruits and vegetables !! And seeing most leading experts suggest consuming liquid food is better for digestion and easier for the body to break down – here’s where we’ve got you covered.
The featured smoothie below is made with nutrients and enzymes, and loaded with protein, vitamins and antioxidants to feed every cell in your body. And guess who drinks this? Jennifer Lopez.
Blend up this Green Energy Smoothie by JLo – make sure to add the sunflower butter as it’s a great source of protein, healthy fats, vitamin E and magnesium. And come on – after seeing Jennifer Lopez do her thing on stage – who wouldn’t want that kind of energy?? I know I would. Enjoy 🙂

Almond Butter – packed full of Vitamin E and Magnesium; contain abundance of protein and healthy fat — both fill you up and keep you satisfied; a good source of fiber
Sunflower Butter – contains vitamin E; is packed with protein, fiber, healthy fats, and magnesium which is essential in maintaining high energy levels
Spinach – contains magnesium which helps generate energy; also a great source of folate, a nutrient that helps your body turn food into usable energy
Rice Milk – good source of calcium, Vitamin A and D, provides energy thanks to its high carbohydrate content.
Protein Powder – an amino acid that forms the building blocks for our muscles and tissues that slows down the absorption of sugar in the blood; protein takes longer than carbohydrates to break down in the body, providing a longer-lasting energy source
