Protein smoothie with olive oil—two recipes

Make your morning routine a bit extra by adding EVOO to your protein smoothies.

Some people like to start their day with a spoonful of olive oil and others just swirl it on their breakfast for the extra flavour and nutrition. And since the team over at Citizens of Soil is definitely the latter, this is how we choose to start our mornings—with an antioxidant-packed smoothie!

The idea for this comes from our founder, Michael, who starts every single day with a version of this smoothie (packed with B Corp certified brands). But the recipe itself is from our friends over at Form nutrition who made sure that the two recipes below are as nutritionally balanced as possible!

Here's the method:

Meet Ana: our olive oil producer from Alentejo, Portugal

Meeting this producer actually changed the course of our business. She became the goal of what an “ideal” producer looked like and established a level of quality that’s truly a rare find in the olive oil industry. As we turn down the roads to get to the farm, the path turns from pavement to dirt. This was our very first “sourcing” trip, after only having worked with our close family friends in Greece. We didn’t really know what to expect or what we were getting into.... But nevertheless, we t...

Why is olive oil so expensive right now? Producers weigh in…

The whole olive oil industry is in flux this year, with soaring prices, global shortages, and an ever-increasing demand for the good stuff.
