Boost the Nutrients in Your Strawberry Protein Smoothie
Leafy Greens: Include a handful of spinach or kale. These greens are packed with vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and calcium. They blend well without significantly altering the taste.
Seeds: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds. These seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and additional protein, as well as various minerals like magnesium and phosphorus.
Berries: A handful of blueberries or strawberries can boost your smoothie’s vitamin C and antioxidant content, plus they add flavor.
Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like mint or parsley can add a unique twist and come loaded with additional vitamins and antioxidants.
Vitamin and Mineral Powders: There are many high-quality, whole-food-based vitamin and mineral powders available that can be added without affecting the taste much. I usually add Metamucil to my smoothies.
