Perfect to start the day, this nutrient-dense smoothie made with blueberries, chia seeds and rolled oats will keep you satiated for a good few hours. It has 20 grams of natural, wholesome foods protein, exactly the way I like to get my proteins. I’m not a fan of protein powders, mostly because most of them are highly processed and most people consume way too much of protein. It’s almost impossible, to not consume enough protein if you eat a balanced diet and don’t skip any meals.
