Healthy Melon Protein Smoothie

By /

This Healthy Melon Protein Smoothie is nourishing and contains a satisfying blend of coconut, avocado, and melon, enhanced with flavorful basil leaves and a bit of lime juice. Delicious right out of the blender, it also makes for great ice pops that children and adults will love.

At 25 grams of protein per serving, it makes a great recovery drink for after your next run.

Recommended Protein Powders for this recipe

For vegans and plant-based runners, or for those who want healthy greens and extra superfood nutrition added to your smoothie, I recommend:

The price is expensive, but I have found that this lasts much longer than you think, especially if you are not a heavy protein powder user, and just want to increase the nutrient value of your smoothies.

For a cheaper option without the greens added Optimum Nutrition is my next go-to choice. I use it as my primary protein for strength training and everyday use. It tastes amazing and can. be used in a lot of recipes as well.

If you are making the healthy Melon Smoothie recipes described in this recipe, you will want the Vanilla flavor.
