The Ultimate Protein Packed Berry Smoothie

When you’re looking for a quick, nutrient dense, and delicious option for breakfast, there’s absolutely nothing better than a protein-packed smoothie.

This one is loaded with berries and uses two servings of Parsley’s Rebuild protein powder , which means it packs in a whopping 26 grams of plant-based protein . Not only will it keep you energized all morning, but it also provides essential nutrients that support your gut-health and general well being.

Fiber

Fiber is a cornerstone in healthy digestion and most people are not getting enough fiber daily. We recommend 30-40 grams per day, and this smoothie makes it easy to get a head start at your first meal. Our Rebuild Protein Powder has 10+% of your daily recommended fiber content, which doesn’t include the added fiber you get from the berries and flax seeds.

Consuming enough fibrous foods is essential to having healthy bowel movements; ones where the toxins are effectively removed from the body through the colon. Without fiber, those toxins may pile up, causing constipation and the reabsorption of toxins.

Vitamin C

Both raspberries and blueberries are high in this antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and we know vitamin C plays a role in maintaining healthy immune function, skin integrity, and cardiovascular health. It’s also involved in many body functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.

Protein

The average person should have at least 20 grams of protein per meal, or a minimum of 60 grams per day. Chances are, you’re not getting anywhere near that, so supplementing with a high-quality protein powder is a great way to meet your daily intake.
We know that protein increases resting metabolism, and eating a protein-rich breakfast has been shown to increase your resting metabolism throughout the day, meaning you burn more calories at your desk without trying.

Protein also improves energy and recovery. There are numerous studies on protein intake and sports performance. While each person is different, it’s well known that muscles recover better with adequate intake of essential amino acids, and our Parsley Rebuild protein has been optimized to mimic animal protein as closely as possible in terms of its essential amino acid balance.
