As you all know, I love me a good smoothie. I've shared several here on this blog. However, I've never added a protein mix to any of my smoothies before.

Truthfully, I thought adding protein to a smoothie made it more of a "workout shake". I wasn't working out. I just wanted a great combination of my favorite fruits and vegetables. However, when Oxyfresh Nutrition reached out I found that not all protein mixes are used as a pre/post workout additive.

Oxyfresh sent over their Vibe Pea Protein powder in the flavor of vanilla. This Vegan friendly mix is the perfect meal replacement and offers a full serving of 7 nutrient dense greens. You have kale, collards, spinach, cabbage, cilantro, broccoli, and watercress. It's rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and Omega-3s; all essential for proper bodily functions and boosting your immune system. 

I did a quick overview of this protein powder to see what others had to say about it, and I saw tons of great reviews.  I wanted to be sure that if I was going to vouch for this I would enjoy it as well. 

Pros:

• I definitely felt full after having one smoothie. Typically with my other smoothies, I require a snack in between. But, by adding the Oxfresh Vibe to my smoothie I didn't require another meal until later in the afternoon. 
• I felt energized. I didn't feel drained or tired by midday. I actually felt in great spirits and ready to move. 
• The taste is quite good. Vanilla is a pretty subtle flavor so it wasn't too overpowering. 
• It's Vegan friendly. It uses a pea protein instead of an animal-based protein.

Cons

• There is a bit of a grainy consistency. I'm not sure if with this protein powder it requires blending a bit longer to eliminate that texture. But, eventually, I did get used to it
• It's a little too sweet for my liking. Some may find it a perfect balance between vanilla and sweetness. But unlike my other smoothies where I use orange juice or almond milk, I actually prefer to just use water on this one. 

I really enjoyed this product and plan to use it again. I've already used more than half of the container. It's for sure given me a reason to dabble into more smoothie recipes for you guys and to share them with you all. 

For this smoothie here, I just used a frozen berry mix purchase from my local grocery store. I added 1 cup of water, 1 scoop of the Vibe protein powder, and blended it all together. In the short time frame, I've already begun to notice such positives from using this product.
