Green Apple Protein Smoothie

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This smoothie can be eaten as a meal replacement. I’m not a big fan of green smoothies myself but I had a dieter that specifically asked for me to come up with a recipe for him. I am a HUGE fan of Collagen Protein so that’s what’s in here that will keep you full and focused until your next meal.

Let me know what you think if you try this.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup packed kale leaves, stems removed (If you don’t like kale this can be made with 2 cups of spinach)
• 1 cup packed spinach leaves
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 green apple, cored and diced
• 1/2 cucumber, seeded
• ½ – 1 tsp of granulated stevia (Truvia is one brand)
• 1 – 2 scoops of Collagen Protein Powder.
• ½- 1 cup water (depends on how much collagen powder you use and how loose you like your smoothies
• 3 ice cubes

Instructions:

Cut the cucumber in quarters lengthwise then slice off the inner corner of each one to remove the seeds. Roughly chop it then add to the blender along with the remaining ingredients.

Blend on high until smooth, transfer to a glass and drink up!  Sip it for the best-lasting effect.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
