My Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie With Emerald City Smoothie

High in antioxidants

Promotes muscle recovery

I love smoothies, and I have one every single day. Whether it’s for breakfast or a quick snack on-the-go, I’ve always leaned into the convenience of throwing ingredients into the blender and moving on with my day. When I was in college, during my dietetic internship, and now as a mom, a quick smoothie is both comforting and nourishing when time is short and stress is high. The secret to an RGE approved smoothie is to make sure it’s blood-sugar balancing. Too much fruit or added sugar of any kind in a smoothie will spike your blood sugar and have you crashing too quick. Adding high-quality protein (I aim for 25-30 grams) and fats to your smoothie will do the trick – your blood-sugar will be stable and you’ll stay full for hours.

The good news is that your morning smoothie just got even quicker! Swing by Emerald City Smoothie for my Strawberry Shortcake smoothie and enjoy 40 grams of protein, healthy fats and nutrients, and maybe just the most delicious smoothie you’ll ever have in your life.
