The perfect smoothie

The perfect smoothie

23 Mar 2022 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

Whether you are heading to the gym, starting your Peloton session or simply getting ready for a walk, this smoothie has it all: protein, good carbs and deliciousness.

Ingredients

½ cup blueberries

1 tablespoon almond butter

½ ripe banana

½ cup almond milk

1 teaspoon flaxseed, ground

1 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

Blend until smooth.

Here’s what makes it ‘perfect.’

Flax and chia seeds are a healthy way to get a dose of fiber and protein. They help the body to repair after a strenuous workout. The almond butter provides a protein kick, so you remain energized during your sweat session. Bananas are high on the glycemic index—meaning they breakdown quickly and release sugar into the bloodstream. Now that you have your perfect pre workout snack, it’s time to get moving!
