After a great workout, there’s nothing like a refreshing, protein-packed smoothie to help with recovery. My gym-going friend, Sarah, swears by this delicious almond milk protein smoothie she drinks after every session. It’s made with a special ingredient: almond milk that has 20% added Almonds, giving it a creamier texture and a higher protein content. Sarah claims that not only does it taste amazing, but it also gives her muscles the nourishment they need after her intense sessions.
If you’re looking for a healthy, tasty post-workout drink, give this a try!
Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk (with 20% Almonds)
1 scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate protein powder
1 medium banana (frozen for a creamier texture)
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 teaspoon chia seeds (for an extra fiber and omega-3 boost)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
A handful of ice cubes (optional, depending on the consistency you like)
Directions:
In a blender, combine the almond milk, protein powder, banana, almond butter, chia seeds, and honey/maple syrup (if using).
Blend until smooth and creamy. If you like a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
Pour into your favorite smoothie cup or shaker, and you’re ready to refuel.
Why Sarah Loves It:
Sarah loves this smoothie because it’s easy to whip up right after a workout, and it provides her with a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs to keep her energized. The almond milk with added milk gives it a satisfying creaminess, making it taste indulgent without being heavy. Plus, she says the combination of protein powder and chia seeds helps her stay full longer, which is perfect for when she’s heading back to work after a morning gym session.
Give this smoothie a try after your next workout—it might just become your go-to too!
Pro Tip:
For an even more nutritious boost, add a handful of spinach or kale to the mix. You won’t taste it, but your body will thank you for the extra vitamins and minerals.
