Smoothie of the Week: Berry & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie

This week’s smoothie is creamy, energizing, and loaded with plant-based power—perfect for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

🍓 Berry & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie

Ingredients:

• ½ cup mixed berries

• 1 tbsp almond butter

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder

• 1 cup unsweetened oat milk

Let’s break down why this smoothie isn’t just delicious—it’s doing the most for your health:

🫐 Mixed Berries

Berries are packed with antioxidants like anthocyanins, which help reduce inflammation and support heart and brain health. They’re also high in fiber and naturally low in sugar, making them a blood-sugar-friendly fruit option.

🥄 Almond Butter

A great source of healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium, almond butter helps keep you full longer and supports muscle and nerve function. Plus, it adds a rich, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the berries.

🌱 Chia Seeds

Don’t sleep on these tiny powerhouses. Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, plant-based protein, and fiber, which help with digestion, brain health, and keeping you satisfied between meals.

💪🏽 Vanilla Plant-Based Protein

Protein is essential for muscle repair, hormone regulation, and metabolism. A clean plant-based protein powder boosts the nutritional profile of this smoothie while keeping it dairy-free and gut-friendly.

🥛 Unsweetened Oat Milk

Creamy and naturally sweet, oat milk is a great non-dairy alternative that adds texture without added sugars. It’s also high in beta-glucans, which support heart health and stable blood sugar levels.

Why We Love It

This smoothie is balanced with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and antioxidants—everything your body needs to power through the day while staying satisfied and energized. And it comes together in under 5 minutes.

Fuel Your Day with Baked Eggs in Avocado: A Power-Packed, Simple Breakfast

If you're looking for a breakfast that’s easy, satisfying, and full of nutrients your body actually craves—Baked Eggs in Avocado is your go-to. This recipe is more than a trendy Instagram moment—it’s a smart, nutrient-dense way to nourish your body, balance your hormones, and keep you fueled for whatever the day throws at you.

Let’s break down why this quick meal is a Simplify Healthy Eating favorite and why it deserves a spot in your weekly rotation.

🥑 The Power of Avocados

Avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol while providing long-lasting energy. They’re also packed with potassium (more than bananas!), fiber, and key antioxidants that support inflammation reduction and glowing skin. The healthy fats also help you absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K from the rest of your meals.

🍳 Eggs = The Ultimate Protein

Eggs are a complete protein source, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids. They’re also rich in choline—a nutrient that’s essential for brain health, nervous system function, and liver support. Plus, they’re budget-friendly and super versatile.

🧂Flavor + Function: The Add-Ons

• Chives or green onions add a light zing and are a great source of antioxidants.

• Hot sauce & red pepper flakes can help boost metabolism and curb appetite.

• Feta or cotija cheese (optional) provides calcium, protein, and flavor—just watch the portions if you’re monitoring sodium.

Every ingredient is chosen for both taste and function—fueling your body while satisfying your taste buds.

📊 Macro Breakdown (Approximate per serving):

• Calories: 180–220

• Protein: 8–10g

• Fat: 16–19g

• Carbs: 6–8g

• Fiber: 5–7g
