Whenever I get the chance to give myself some nice treats, I don't let it slip by without grabbing it. Hehehe.
I've been craving smoothie for a while now so today I decided to treat myself to some tasty smoothie. More so, I've been experiencing muscle weakness, fatigue and low energy of recent, and these I found out to be some common symptoms of protein deficiency.
With this discovery, I decided to increase my intake of protein-rich foods and drinks. That's why I had to make this protein-rich smoothie, ensuring I'd get the nutrients I needed. I'm very intentional about my health and general well-being, and I always prioritize it above other things. "My good health is my wealth."
In making the smoothie, here are the ingredients used;
- 200g Watermelon.
- 3 fingers of Banana.
- 1 sizeable Avocado.
- 20cl Wheat flavored milk drink.
- Groundnuts.
Let's prepare the smoothie.
-
Wash all fruits, peel and cut in small sizes.
-
First blend the groundnuts until smooth.
-
Add the fruits, starting with the watermelon, avocado and banana.
- Lastly, add the milk.
-
Blend all until smooth.
-
Your protein-rich smoothie is ready. Serve chilled and enjoy. Yum. 😋

You can preserve the leftover in a bottle and keep it in the refrigerator.
As we know, smoothies can serve as quick meal or snack. They're nutritious and can be made with a mix of fruits, vegetables, proteins, etc., to suit different taste buds and dietary needs.
This protein-based smoothie is a good mix of these essential nutrients;
-
Vitamins (C, E) and minerals (potassium) contained in all the ingredients.
-
Protein from the wheat flavored milk drink and groundnuts.
-
Fiber from the banana, avocado, and the wheat milk.
-
Antioxidants from watermelon and avocado.
-
Finally, it's a perfect drink to keep the body hydrated.
As I relished every sip of the smoothie, I could feel my body being energized and revitalized. The smoothie really hit the right spots. 😅
When I shared the picture and ingredients with my Chef cousin, she commended it saying;
Hmmmmmmmm. This is a high protein smoothie oooh.
I was excited with her feedback, and equally glad to know I had successfully pulled off my protein-based smoothie. So I'm happy to share the recipe with you.
Thank you for reading. I hope you'll take out time and try this recipe. I bet you'll surely enjoy it, even much more than I did. 🥰
