Smoothies can be a delicious snack or a great meal replacement. They are easy to make and are packed with fruits and proteins to help you prepare or recover from a workout. One of our Flippers and fitness enthusiasts, Marco Villalobos, has compiled a list of his favorite DIY protein smoothie recipes to try this summer.
Before you get started, don’t forget to search for your favorite smoothie ingredients and protein powders on the Flipp app for amazing savings and deals.
Once you have everything you need, pull that blender out of the cupboard and get mixing!
For all of these smoothie recipes, add your liquid base of choice for your desired consistency and flavor preference (juice, coconut water, almond milk, etc.). Marco’s liquid base of choice for his smoothies is water, so the nutritional info for each recipe will be based on that.
