Hello,
I was wondering if any one here has used recipes for green smoothies and if they have been using them what you use for protein, if you can use protein in them. Is that where Chia seeds come in? I heard they have protein and they can be soaked before hand. So than I would not have to worry that they would expand in me.

However, you should be able to add unflavored whey protein to it without changing the taste very much. The proteins that don't work for us are collagens. You want to look for whey protein isolates....
Hope this helps. :)
