SMOOTHIE TIME

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Smoothie:

This is Bradon's favorite smoothie! Drinks one everyday! Full of complex carbs, protein, good fats, and fiber!

• 1 cup milk
• 3 ice cubes
• 1 scoop chocolate peanut butter (Elite brand) whey protein
• 1 spoonful of peanut butter
• I spoonful of plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup oats

Berry Spinach Protein Smoothie

This is one of my favorite smoothies. Don't mind the color, it tastes delicious!! 

• For after a workout: about 250 calories, 25 grams of protein
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/3 of a frozen banana
• about 5 frozen strawberries
• handful of frozen blueberries (or other berries)
• handful of spinach
• a little bit of water

• For a meal: about 310 calories, 23 grams of protein
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup oatmeal
• 1 T. chia seeds
• 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
• 1/3 frozen banana
• same berries and spinach as above.

***The reason why the shakes are different for a meal or after a workout is because after you are physically active you need quick carbs and protein. Where as in the meal smoothie you have chia seeds (which are full of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber) and you have oatmeal which is full of complex carbs and fiber. Fruit absorbs much quicker then oats, thus needed after a workout!

***You can buy chia seeds at any health store, I buy mine in the bulk at sunflower marker which is cheaper.
