I’ve been drinking a lot of smoothies lately – they’re a great way to add nutrients to my breakfast routine, and make sure I’m actually getting the protein and calories I need to rebuild muscle tissues right after a run. Too often I’ll come home after a run, get distracted by the kids, and then end up showering before I’ve had anything to eat or drink. Not great for your body! A quick smoothie that I can drink in between stretching and before I hop in the shower is just the thing.
Here’s a recent favorite:
Banana Almond Smoothie:
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 Tablespoons Almond Butter
1 Banana
1/2 cup of ice
3/4 cups of almond milk, boxed coconut milk, or water
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
Blend until smooth, enjoy!
I am on a total smoothie kick too!
