Here is a recipe for a great tasting protein smoothie:
2 Cups Water
Ice
1 Scoop Whey Protein
1 Medium Banana
1 Cup Organic Baby Spinach
1/4 Cup Oats
1 Tablespoon Flax Seed
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
This smoothie has approximately 356 calories, 48 grams of carbs, and 29 grams of protein. You can substitue the banana for 1 cup of blue berries. Give it a try. I think it tastes great. It's perfect for anyone trying to eat healty, and lose or maintain their weight. Just factor it in to your eating plan based on your caloric need. At times, I have drank the smoothie in place of breakfast.
For those hardgainers out there looking to build muscle and size, but are having difficulty, I recommend the following protein smoothie. Obviously, this recipe is not for someone who wants to lose weight. I have recommended this recipe to several high school athletes looking to gain size for their respective sports.
2 Cups Water
Ice
2 Scoops Whey Protein
1 Medium Banana
1 Cup Organic Baby Spinach
1/4 Cup Oats
1 Tablespoon Flax Seed
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Liquid Egg Whites
This muscle-building protein smoothie has 624 calories, 51 grams of carbs, and 58 grams of protein. When I was bulking and putting on muscle I would consume three of these smoothie per day. It worked great! Again, I highly recommend this smoothie for any guy having trouble increasing their strength and putting on muscle.
Enjoy!
