How to Add Protein to Your Juice Cleanse

How to Add Protein to Your Juice Cleanse

Incorporating protein into your juice cleanse can help maintain energy levels, support muscle mass, and promote satiety. Here are some tips on how to add protein to your juice cleanse:

1. Use Protein Powder

Adding a scoop of protein powder to your juices is an easy and convenient way to increase your protein intake. Look for high-quality plant-based protein powders, such as:

• Pea protein
• Hemp protein
• Brown rice protein

2. Incorporate Nut and Seed Butters

Nut and seed butters are rich in protein and healthy fats. Blend a tablespoon of the following into your juices for an extra protein boost:

• Almond butter
• Peanut butter
• Cashew butter
• Sunflower seed butter

3. Add Greek Yogurt

If your cleanse allows for dairy, Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein. Add a few tablespoons to your morning smoothie for a creamy texture and a protein kick.

4. Include Silken Tofu

Silken tofu can be blended smoothly into juices and smoothies and is a great source of plant-based protein. It’s virtually tasteless, so it won’t alter the flavor of your drink significantly.

5. Sprinkle in Chia Seeds and Flaxseeds

Chia seeds and flaxseeds are not only high in protein but also provide omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Add a tablespoon to your juices and allow them to soak, or blend them directly into your smoothies.

6. Blend With Edamame

For a slightly savory option, blend a handful of shelled edamame beans into your green juices. These beans are a good source of plant protein and add a subtle flavor.

7. Consider Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is high in protein and can be added to juices and smoothies. A small amount goes a long way; start with a teaspoon and increase as needed.
