Like music to people wanting to lose weight’s ears, cutting carbs has never been easier with this smoothie. It’s packed with superfoods including spinach and chia seeds which paired with plant-based protein powder, will give people the boost they need to energise their day.
Registered dietician Amy Shapiro, who created the drink, revealed the cinnamon also helps regulate blood sugar levels.
“I love this protein shake because it’s loaded with nutrients but void of excess calories and sugar,” she said.
“I recommend berries as they are high in fibre, low in calories, and loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants—and chia seeds add ‘staying power’ as they help keep you full and provide tons of omega-3 fatty acids.”
She also noted that people should opt for almond milk instead of regular milk to keep calories low.
