Tropcial Green Protein Smoothie:

This simple tropical green smoothie has 25 grams of plant-based protein, for those of you who like to count your macros.

Personally, I focus more on eating clean whole foods, than on counting calories, protein, carbs and fat.

Nutrient-density should be your nutrition focus–when you eat nutrient dense, you eat more fruit, veg, seeds, nuts, healthy oils, and less packaged foods. If the food you eat doesnt have a label–that is a good thing. Foods without labels are clean, whole foods, full of nutrition=nutrient dense. Once per ounce, pound per pound, clean whole foods will win the nutrient war every time.

I recommend this way of eating to others, too. It’s all about avoiding the bad, and eating more of the good.

And keeping it simple.
