antioxidants in my protein shake?
I'm on a special diet for health reasons which makes it hard to buy food when I'm out. Aside from my normal meals I'm also under recommendations to have protein shakes if/when I can or as a replacement if I don't have time for a meal.
I've started studying this year and finding I'm replacing some of my meals each week with a protein shake. I'm worried though that I'm missing out on the antioxidants I'd normally get in a meal (with meat and veg) and have stopped drinking green tea because I'm always on the go.
So far what goes into my protein shake is cream, water, whey powder, raw cocoa powder and powdered stevia leaf. (The cream instead of milk is because I need more fat less carbs).
I'm wondering about some sort of powdered greens supplement to add to my protein powder mix but not sure if they're a good source of antioxidants (as compared to normal veg). Also, after some recommendations if anyone sees them as a good option. This supplement would be mainly for the antioxidant properties as I'm already using vitamin and mineral supplements.
