I'm a huge smoothie fan. It's a great way to get food into your gut on the run of for just a snack. On hard traning days I usually have one after a workout if I don't feel like eating a meal anytime soon. Here's a couple of mine...
250ml low fat milk
250ml cold water
big handful of ice cubes
1 banana
2eggs
1 - 2 scoops of protein powder (choc or vanilla works well)
OTIONAL: dash of honey and or crunchy peanut putter
250ml low fat milk
250ml cold water
big handful of ice cubes
1 cup frozen mixed berries or punnet of blueberries
1-2 scoops vanilla protein power
OPTIONAL: 1-2eggs
GENERAL NOTES:
Water to milk ratio is dependent on your calorie requirements.
For bulking, swap milk for ice cream.
Bananas starting to turn brown and not likely to be eaten can be chopped up and frozen. Then add to next smoothie and they freakin' rock.
A handful of oats is always a good idea to thicken it up and enhance the taste.
On really hot days, subbing the water for extra ice makes it super icy cold.
