A well-balanced smoothie can provide a range of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. After decades of trail and error, research and talking to many other people, I beleive I have found a great Protein Smoothie! This Ultimate Protein Smoothie includes whole fruits and vegetables which are rich in vitamins A, C and K, as well as potassium and fiber. By adding protein powder, it becomes a delicious, nutrient rich, muscle building and recovery shake.
