This vitamin smoothie gets its beautiful green color—and a hefty protein boost—from edamame (which, btw, also lowers cholesterol). In one glass you'll get 21 grams of protein, about 46 percent your daily needs, plus 9 grams of fiber, which is about 40 percent of your daily quota. (Want more protein? Try these 13 smoothie recipes.)
