The Smoothie I Sip on Repeat: Fiber-Filled, Blood Sugar Balancing, Protein-Packed Deliciousness

If you’re looking for a smoothie that tastes amazing and helps you feel full, energized, and balanced all morning long—this one’s for you. I call it my "Blood Sugar Balance Smoothie," and it’s been a game-changer for my energy, digestion, and cravings. Packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, it checks every box for a nourishing, satisfying meal or snack.

Here’s what’s inside:

My Go-To Smoothie Recipe

• ½ cup plain frozen cauliflower rice

• ¼ cup frozen raspberries

• ¼ cup frozen wild blueberries

• 1 tsp maca powder

• 1 scoop Be Well By Kelly vanilla protein powder (or your favorite clean vanilla protein)

• ½ cup Good Culture cottage cheese

• 1 tsp natural peanut butter (just peanuts and/or salt)

• Water to desired thickness

Blend it all up until smooth, and enjoy!

Why This Smoothie is So Good for You

Let’s break down the benefits:

Fiber for Fullness & Gut Health

The combo of frozen cauliflower rice and berries adds a gentle fiber boost that supports digestion and helps keep you feeling full longer. Fiber also supports gut health and helps regulate blood sugar levels—a win-win.

Protein to Fuel Your Day

Protein is essential, especially for women in midlife. It keeps blood sugar stable, supports lean muscle, and reduces cravings. This smoothie has about 40+ grams of protein, thanks to the protein powder and cottage cheese combo.

Blood Sugar Balancing Power

The magic happens when you combine protein, fiber, and healthy fat. Cottage cheese, peanut butter, and low-glycemic berries help slow digestion and give you steady energy—no spike, no crash.

Hormone-Supportive Ingredients

• Maca powder: An adaptogen known for supporting hormone balance, mood, and energy.

• Wild blueberries: Packed with antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support brain and heart health.

Frozen Cauliflower? Yes!

Don’t knock it till you try it! It adds creaminess, fiber, and nutrients without changing the flavor (I swear!). Plus, it’s a sneaky way to get an extra veggie serving in first thing.

Final Thoughts

This smoothie is my secret weapon for mornings when I need something quick, satisfying, and nutrient-dense. It’s perfect for busy days, pre- or post-workout fuel, or when you want something sweet that actually supports your body.
