Maple Pecan Smoothie
Overview
It’s a good smoothie when my husband asks me off the bat, is this even healthy?
It’s true. I tried this smoothie and immediately smiled. It’s nutty, sweet, and tastes like Autumn. But it’s also loaded with nutritious ingredients that will keep you fueled for the morning.
Pecans– a great source of magnesium, potassium, and calcium
Medjool Dates– a natural sweetener, full of fiber
Protein powder– Not many of us get as much protein as we need, so any chance I can add it in, I’m going to!
This is a great post workout smoothie and I find myself craving it more often than not lately. Hope you love it, too!
