Use spinach or romaine in the smoothie if you don’t like kale!

Well, it depends on your preference, but I prefer less ingredients in a smoothie. You can jam pack it with too many calories and then it becomes more decadent rather than a light meal replacement! All of those ingredients are healthy though, so you’re not doing anything wrong by including them. I would limit the fruit to 1 or 2 servings to keep the sugar content down!

Hi, Claudia! Yes, if you add enough into your green smoothie in the morning than it should give you enough energy for your workout. I also like to add granola or superfoods like goji berries, coconut shreds or buckwheat groats / oats into my smoothies if I want them to be extra filling in the morning. Generally, smoothies are a meal replacement. Especially if you’re adding protein powder! And thank you so much for the kind words about the blog. I appreciate it so very much and I am sending you so much love!!!

First of all I love your website! It’s so inspiring. I just bought myself a blender. My housemate and I want to start drinking smoothies and enjoy a even healthier lifestyle.
I m just not sure about how to integrate the smoothie into my food plan throughout the day. Do you eat anything else in the morning or just one green smoothie?
I usually go to the gym in the morning for 1.5-2 hours so I have to see if the green smoothie will give me enough energy for my workout.
But generally one smoothie kind of replaces one meal right?

Continue doing what you are doing! I think you can just feel that you love your blog and invest a lot of time and energy in making it easy to follow and understand. I might even start my own blog at some point 🙂

All the best from Munich 😉
Thanks
Claudia

I like to switch it up between super foods and protein powders. They both contain different health properties, so they aren’t exactly interchangeable. Super foods will provide you with a 100% natural source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, and I personally stick to 100% natural protein powders as well. I usually use a plant-based protein powder before or after a workout when I know I need an extra kick of energy. I will also drink a smoothie with protein powder when I am sore from a workout and trying to recover my muscles. My favorite protein powder brands are Vega One and Manitoba Harvest. If you add some of that to your morning smoothie (or even a 100% green juice) it will taste AMAZING. Hemp, chia and flax seeds are marvelous additions to any breakfast, smoothie, or dessert. Hope this helps! Xo
