FUEL - Breakfast Smoothies
Athletes performing high volumes of practice, competition, and/or resistance training have augmented caloric needs. Consuming enough calories and aiming for specific macronutrient ratios is essential for performance, recovery, and adaptation to exercise. Smoothies can provide calorie-dense meals on-the-go for any flavor profile.
Ice: 10 cubes
Instant Oatmeal: 1-2 servings, will blend well if heated thoroughly.
Whole Fat Milk: 8 oz. (Oat or almond milk as non-dairy alternatives)
Greek Yogurt: 6-8 oz (I use TraderJoe’s brand, cost effective and tasty)
Banana
Creamy Peanut Butter - 1-2 tablespoons
Chocolate Protein Powder (I use Jocko Molk but would also recommend the 365 grass-fed whey or Optimum Nutrition Gold. Dairy sensitive athletes may want to use a hydrolyzed whey)
[Optional] Creatine - 1 scoop (Thorne brand recommended)
