I don’t know what it is. I’m not much of a dinner person. Sometimes, if I have a larger breakfast and lunch, plus snacks I will just have a smoothie for dinner.
I rationalize this because I’m still receiving plenty of healthy nutrients. Carbs and potassium from the banana, protein and healthy fat from the peanut butter, fiber and healthy fat from the Chia seeds, protein from the Greek yogurt and the protein powder. Pretty balanced. As long as I had some veggies earlier in the day I’m good to go.
Plus, since I don’t feel stuffed from eating too much I sleep much better. Win, win.
If you are a dinner person, this smoothie is perfect for a snack or following a workout. Or curb your chocolate craving the healthy way

i agree…….sometimes it is so nice to just have a smoothie for dinner. and like you i love to go to bed feeling light because i sleep better too. do you think i could leave out the yogurt?
Oh sure, that’s the beauty of smoothies. I think you are Vegan now, so maybe for extra thickness you can in a few more chia seeds. Let me know how it works out!
