Coach Mike’s Summertime Anytime Smoothie
This is a quick and easy smoothie to put together - it's big enough to share or to drink 1/2 and put the other half away until later in the day. It's packed with protein and flavor. This is one of my 'go-to' smoothies when I'm on the go.
This smoothie is packed with protein and is a great way to cool off or to get some pep in your step in the morning.
Here’s all you need:
2 bananas
3 TBSP of chia seeds
2 cups of 2% milk
2 TBSP of peanut butter
1 ½ servings of chocolate whey protein
1 cup of ice
Mix in a blender or Bullet and enjoy!
*You can substitute almond milk and almond butter for 2% milk and peanut butter, respectively.
This recipe will have close to 70g of protein and you can split it up or share it. Enjoy!
