Post-Workout Smoothie Formula

Use this simple formula to create your own plant-based post-workout recovery smoothie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of ice water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup of fruit (e.g. 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup of berries)
  • 1/23/4 cup frozen vegetables such as cauliflower rice or frozen zucchini, OR handful baby spinach
  • 1 scoop of plant-based protein powder or 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt 
  • 1 tablespoon of a healthy fat – either hemp seeds, chia seeds or flax seeds
  • OPTIONAL: 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to thin out smoothie as needed

Instructions

  • Using general ingredient guidelines, chose specific ingredients of choice.
  • Use high-speed blender to blend ingredients.
  • Add additional water and ice as desired.

Notes

  • When choosing a dairy-free milk, be sure to use an unsweetened version and also one that has added calcium. My favorite milk is Ripple Foods Dairy-Free Unsweetened Vanilla Milk or Calfia Farms Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • If you use a whole banana, that will count as your 1 cup of fruit. Berries are high in antioxidants and low in sugar.
