Whether you’re looking for a post-workout protein boost or just a quick breakfast alternative, every smooth operator (forced smoothie pun) needs a go-to smoothie recipe on hand. After years of trials and plenty of errors, I’ve settled on a recipe that is now at the core of my daily routine. This one only takes two minutes to make, but packs a nutritional punch that will keep you going for hours. And by adding just a bit of Fresh Spirulina, you can take on the rest of your day knowing you’ve covered your bases on vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. My secrets are divulged below, along with a couple optional ingredients to personalize your smoothie for any need:
Peanut Butter, Banana and Fresh Spirulina Smoothie
Adding the optional scoop of vanilla protein powder gives this smoothie 30+g of protein, which, along with the healthy fats and potassium already included, help you refuel after an intense workout.
OR, if you are in a rush to get to work in the morning, adding some cold brew concentrate makes this smoothie a great breakfast replacement with a caffeine kick.
