My Top 3 Weight-loss Protein Smoothies (perfect for MEAL PREP)

Easy Weight-loss Protein Smoothies to Meal Prep

These are some of my favorite protein smoothies! When I was trying to lose weight, I found that adding more high-protein ingredients to my smoothies kept me fuller for much longer between my meals. Previously, my smoothies were mostly just sugar, and I was always hungry within an hour of breakfast. Adding protein to my smoothies was also a really easy way to get more protein in my day!

These smoothies are lower in calories but won’t leave you feeling hungry, as they’re balanced with all the food groups and are high in protein. They’re also dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan!

I like to meal prep them because they keep really well in the fridge for 5-7 days, so I just make big batches of them to save time throughout the week.
