Green Pea Protein Smoothie Bowl

≈28g protein 10 min Serves 2 Leucine-rich

Pea protein isolate is rich in lysine but notoriously low in methionine. Hemp seeds, which are complete on their own, fix that deficiency immediately. Blended with soy milk, this bowl clears the leucine threshold for triggering muscle protein synthesis easily.

Ingredients

  • 2 scoops (60g) pea protein powder, unsweetened
  • 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 4 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: granola, chia seeds, extra banana slices

Method

  1. Add soy milk, spinach, and frozen banana to a blender; blend until completely smooth.
  2. Add the pea protein powder, 3 tbsp hemp hearts, and vanilla extract.
  3. Blend on high until thick and completely smooth, scraping the sides once if needed.
  4. Pour into two bowls; the texture should be thick enough to hold a spoon.
  5. Top with remaining hemp hearts, granola, and extra banana slices before serving.
