Chai Protein & Morning Mocha Smoothies

We love smoothies. They're just such an easy and effective way to give your body a boost of nutrients. Let's be real, it can be difficult to make sure you're fitting in all the important nutrients into your daily diet, from fibre to protein. Smoothies are a quick way to make sure everything is included! They're also great anytime of day - breakfast on the go, or a mid-day snack.


The smoothie recipes we're sharing today are great protein-packed pick-me-ups to help you tackle the day.
