Why

Smoothies can provide a lot of nutritional bang for your buck when you make them with fiber- and nutrient-rich produce along with a healthy source of protein. Having one for breakfast or a snack can help you spread out your protein throughout the day, rather than getting most of it at dinnertime. Eating protein-rich foods evenly throughout the day was linked to greater muscle strength in a study of 192 healthy women ages 18 to 79 reported in 2022 in Nutrition and Metabolic Insights.
