Post ride smoothie

Thought I’d share one of my favorite post-intense interval session with you guys:

  1. 1/2 c milk
  2. 1/2 c orange juice
  3. Handful of frozen strawberries
  4. Banana
  5. Blend and enjoy

looks like a tasty smoothie. However, it looks to be lacking in protein. The recipe brings 74 grams of carbs but only 7g of protein. I would try to keep the ratio closer to 3:1 or 4:1. If you are not lactose intolerant, a cup of whole milk isn’t too high in calories, but has a 4:1 ratio suggested. Vanilla Soymilk or Lactose-free milk bring the same carb:protein ratio.

Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I replace the orange juice by more milk (or soy milk, or lactose-free milk) - and add in a healthy wollop of raw oats and nuts. More protein, slower carbs.

Steph has some cracking real food ideas. This is one option that I use often.

Thanks! Sounds delicious. Mine is Skratch Labs Endurance Recovery Mix, water, crushed ice, a banana, and blueberries. Sometimes with a raw egg. Then have a nice O’Doul’s for fluid replacement and phenols without the diuretic effects of alcohol.

What do you think it is possible to use milk powder?

It is also interesting to add ice and coffee. I think if you use a blender like this . I can make the drink colder and more saturated.

A very easy to make banana protein smoothie.
1 banana
8 oz of coconut water
Scoop of whey protein
About 6 ice cubes
Just bled and your good to go. I have added blueberries or strawberries as well. You could add more bananas if you’d like or anything else for that matter. I have even added spinach into the mix. It’s all up to you. Super easy.
