Smoothie Love #ALLPROSCIENCE
I am a huge smoothie fan. They are incredibly easy to make and super fast to whip together in the morning before heading off to work. I can just blend it up, put it in my cup, and head to work.
What makes my morning smoothie even better is knowing it's packed full of good-for-you ingredients.
I was sent a canister of All Pro Science's Complete Veggie Protein to try out. One way for me to know if a protein powder is worth it is is to see how it tastes in my smoothie. If it's smoothie-approved, then it's a winner.
What's special about APS Complete Veggie Protein?
I tried the Berry Blast, which has all of the additional benefits of Goji berry, Acai berry, and Blueberry fruits. All of them excellent sources of anti-oxidants.
APS put to the test with some of my favorite types of smoothies.

APS passed with flying colors. Every single smoothie tasted great. What I really liked about APS is that my hunger didn't creep up on my around 10:00. The smoothie really satisfied me and kept me from feeling famished. To me, that's a rather important feature with a protein powder. Another one is to not be incredibly sweet and full of fillers. APS nailed it again.
Not only am I loving APS, my kids are too. We're reducing the gluten in our diets and focusing on increasing the veggie consumption. Somethings that's a real challenge in our house. However, with APS, I know my kids are getting a great source of the essential vitamins and nutrients. And they are happy with it!

Is this the first protein drink you have used? I have always been a little scared to use them as I have been drug tested in the past, and am likely to again often in the future while I am at this level. Would you say you notice a big change compared to eating a meal after? Or just the convenience? Sorry for all the questions....just curious :)
ReplyDeleteall your smoothies look so good. I don't usually have them for breakfast usually as an after workout snack. Maybe I will try one this morning.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a nutrient packed meal - that I love to choose for breakfast due to the convenience. I've used many protein powders before and this one is all natural.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it Jen, I am looking forward to trying it soon too.
ReplyDeleteI've searched high and low for a supplement that is all natural. I'm trying to eat cleaner, so I couldn't see the point in putting back in a supplement that wasn't "clean." I'm definitely going to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love the twist silver with cobalt elastic. So cute!!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try Kale in my shakes. I've done Spinach though. But, must try the Kale!
