#Repost @earthformed • • • • • Getting enough roughage, greens and electrolytes on a keto diet can be a bit difficult. Spirulina is a superfood rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients that can assist in bridging that gap. I noticed while checking my macros in Carb Manager app that I was replete in my fats for today, but somewhat lacking in protein. . Protein is necessary to prevent muscle loss while undertaking a weight loss regimen. It also is required to help recovery, maintain your results and increase them if you are working out vigorously - hopefully in a muscle building endeavor either with body weight only moves or lifting. Protein, like fat, helps with satiety. Soooo, I undertook the task of making a protein smoothie to help fill the protein and greens gap that was in my diet today. . Recipe . Strawberry Spirulina Protein Smoothie . 60 ml frozen strawberries (about 7 small strawberries) 6-8 ice cubes 1 scoop Organisource Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein Powder (use code 'earthformed' for 15% off) 1 cup (240 ml) unflavored almond milk (vanilla will also work, but I use the unflavored) 1 teaspoon spirulina powder Dash of cinnamon Stevia powder or liquid to taste . Place all ingredients in the blender and blend til smooth. . Macros: 5g Net Carbs, 4g Fat, 23g Protein, 143 Calories . This can easily be turned into a #fatbomb by eliminating the ice cubes and replacing with frozen avocado and adding a tablespoon of MCT oil. To add to the thickness I did include a 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum since I hadn't added any extra fats, but I realized it wasn't really necessary. If the berries add too much carbs for you then by all means either reduce or remove them and add in some coconut cream. . I use the Nutribullet 16 oz single blender cup. I find it pulverizes everything to smoothie perfection. It does a much better job than my large blender because everything is forced down to the blades. @weareorganisource #organisourcearmy #Organisource #smoothierecipes #smoothie #keto #fitness #ketodiet #smoothies #ketosis #protein #ketogenic #fit #healthyfood #ketogenicdiet #workout #healthy #ketolife #fitfam #smoothietime #ketofam #nutrition #lchf #eatclean https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1_IrAAruh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q9r5u13mrlv9
