Protein shakes are a weapon every one who’s trying to get healthy relies upon- whether you’re trying to shed a few kilos or buffing up. The role of protein for weight management is an important one – naturally, everyone is obsessed with packing up their diet with protein. Consuming this key nutrient is essential for weight loss as it also boosts metabolism and tames the hunger, which in turn helps in reducing belly fat and losing weight. While the world uses protein powders to make their protein shakes, at the end of the day the protein derived in these protein powders is artificial. And as one would expect, most artificial things have a side effect we do not really need ( ranging from subpar nutrition to various health issues like nausea, cramps, fatigue, bloating, and headaches, etc.). However, nutritional protein shakes can be made from home as well. They’re just as nutritious and devoid any side effects.
Homemade protein shakes made of natural ingredients and are hence safe and can help you lose weight and belly fat faster. Additionally, they also taste way better compared commercial protein powders. If you want to stay steady on the health bandwagon, here’s a refreshing and delicious, nutrient-dense weight loss shake - hem green protein smoothie - that will satisfy your craving and appetite, increase metabolism, and improve your nutrient-dense overall health. It is very simple and can be prepared in 5 minutes.

Ingredients
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon hemp powder
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
• 1 cup baby spinach
• A pinch of salt
How to make it
• Begin by tossing the baby spinach into a blender and blend it into a smooth paste.
