Smoothies!

They are fast and easy to make, especially in the mornings when I am in a hurry to get out the door. 

 Smoothies are easy to throw together because there really is no wrong way in making them, so you will never mess them up! It’s like an experiment that will never go wrong. Well I take that back, depending on the combinations some may be difficult to swallow, but more than likely, they won’t be! 

 Here are some of my favorite and easiest smoothie combinations. 

 Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie: 

  • 1 serving of frozen strawberries (140 grams) 
  • Halve of a banana (50 grams) 
  • 1 scoop of protein powder 

Calories: 215 Fat: 1 Carbs: 27 Protein: 26  

Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie: 

  • ½ a serving of peanut butter (16 grams) 
  • A whole banana (100 grams) 
  • Ice Cubes (as little or much as you want) 
  • 1 scoop of protein powder 

Calories: 304 Fat: 9 Carbs: 30 Protein: 29 

 NOTE: If you are trying to gain lean muscle, you must eat or drink protein within 30 minutes after a weight lifting session.  

 These protein filled smoothies are perfect for a post workout snack.
