How To Make A Vegetable Protein Smoothie
Eat this when you have nothing prepared
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m showing you how to make a vegetable protein smoothie and sharing why it can be a quick last minute dinner recipe.
Ok, so here’s the deal.
You finally get home after a long day of being hassled by your boss and you’re starving.
But you suddenly realize you didn’t take anything out for dinner, so there is nothing ready to eat.

How many times do you forget to defrost your steak, chicken breast, or fish?
This happens to me all the time.
How do you get your quick fix of dinner time protein and vegetables?
Here is my quick go-to trick to ensure you still get in your protein and vegetables, when nothing is ready to go for dinner.
So what I want you to do is go to your fridge and grab some hot sauce.
If you don’t have hot sauce, get it during your next grocery trip.
Hot sauce makes anything taste better.
Next, go to your freezer and get yourself some frozen vegetables.
Once again, if you don’t have frozen vegetables, add those to your grocery list.
Now check out the instructions below to see how we’re what we’re going to make a vegetable protein smoothie, using protein powder.
Our recommended protein powder:
Here is my preferred vanilla egg white protein powder.
Or if you like whey protein, try this vanilla whey isolate protein powder.

Yes, we’re adding vegetables to this smoothie, not fruit.
This is a great way to add more vegetables into your diet, without even tasting them.
Here’s how it’s done.

Okay so that hot sauce it totally tha bomb! I definitely have some in my fridge. I ‘ve only ever added spinach to my shakes…frozen veggies..that’s a really neat idea! 🙂
Love Gouthro’s cameo!
OMG I never thought about adding frozen veggies to my smoothie. I mean, I make green smoothies all the time but this would make my life so much easier!
I just clued in a few months ago as well. Haven’t looked back since.
You make every thing sound super delicious!
Love this! I usually prep my meals but there are some nights when I just don’t feel like cooking. This is perfect for those nights.
Yep, so easy and tastes good.
