Is a Fruit Smoothie With Protein Powder Healthy?

Adding protein powder to your smoothies is a very effective way of boosting the protein amount in a smoothie.

Generally, a fruit smoothie with protein powders is healthy. However, it depends on what type of ingredients you have used in the smoothie.

If you use too much sweetness, especially added sugars and syrups like maple syrup, you end up reversing making the smoothies quite unhealthy.

To achieve a healthy fruit smoothie with protein powder, make sure you use unsweetened protein powder and stick with whole fruit.

Avoid fruit juices and syrups. They contain a lot of sugar. The natural fruit sugar should be more than enough to make your smoothies taste sweet.
