GREEN PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

​

Though I am addicted to almond butter, I figured I'd give hazelnut butter some love, too. I found some incredible brands of nut butters here in Geneva, all natural, without any added sugars. Hazelnut butter is like nutella but without the chocolate and sugar - and it's sooo good.  I am working on a post about all of the ingredible natural health foods that are available here in Switzerland. 

After a great Saturday morning workout, I made my husband and I a creamy, nutty smoothie and he was in charge of the eggs. I added two Brazil nuts, as they are super high in selenium, protein, potassium and magnesium, and an amazing replenishment after a hard workout. 

Husband approved.
