Bored of the same old smoothies? Want to try something new? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Nutrition-rich smoothies, especially the ones loaded with protein, can be tough to consume and digest if not made properly. Moreover, even if we find a recipe that works, it’s almost certain that we’ll get bored of it in just a week! Why? Simply because they’re boring; there’s no other way to put it.
If you’ve been there and are looking for some change, fear not ‘cuz we’re here to introduce you to a new and exciting protein smoothie recipe!
Say hello to Jen Anniston’s nutrition secret
Yep, you read that right folks! This recipe comes to you straight from the drop-dead gorgeous Jennifer Anniston’s kitchen. In case you haven’t heard yet, she recently became the chief creative officer of Vital Proteins. Alongside her recurring role on AppleTV’s Morning show, the actress has decided to work with Vital Proteins because she personally loves the brand’s products.
When speaking to Byrdie and Well+Good, the actress admitted to using Vital Proteins’ collagen powders for quite a few years, and shared that she’s got quite a sweet tooth, but only for healthy things.
Further down the line in the conversation, Anniston shared her finger-licking chocolate protein smoothie recipe, which according to her, has made her life perfect! Let’s not wait any longer to find out what the Friends star’s go-to smoothie recipe is.
The recipe
For this exciting smoothie, you’ll need these ingredients:
- Either Vital Performance Protein Chocolate Powder or alternatively, you could opt for Vital Protein Chocolate Collagen Powder
- Chocolate almond milk. Although we want this smoothie to be sweet and mouthwatering, it must be healthy too, hence the almond milk.
- Maca berry
- Cinnamon
- Cacao
- Spinach
- Matcha powder
Now all you’ve got to do is blend them. You can change the quantities based on your required protein level intake and desired sweetness. Anniston also suggests switching things up by adding in some bananas and a handful of berries. Regardless, the chocolate-flavored protein powder that goes into the smoothie contains collagen which is very filling.
Other ways Anniston uses to stay healthy
Jennifer Anniston has always been health-conscious and mindful about what she puts into her body. She looks fit and stays healthy not just to fit into her jeans, but for the longevity of her bones, muscles and brain.
Apart from having these heavenly mid-day smoothies, Anniston also pursues intermittent fasting, has celery juice after waking up, and follows it up with a cup of coffee after her workout. She admits that she always keeps a Vital Performance Salty Peanut Bar nearby. This beautiful lady also loves popcorn and fruits, especially Asian pear, plums, and apples.
