This smoothie (I actually call it a shake because the texture is so thick) clocks in at around 20 grams of protein. Not too shabby, not too shabby indeed. Frozen banana and mango provide a lightly sweet flavour and creamy texture, while spinach, wheatgrass, fresh mint, and chia seeds provide green power and healthy fats.
