We developed The Athlete, unsurprisingly, for the athletes among us. It won't do all the hard work, but we've boosted it with vegan protein blend (soy-free), turmeric and magnesium to support muscle repair and recovery. It's also nutritionally balanced, so when our trainer tells us to eat a balance of carbs/proteins/fats within 30 minutes of working out, we can tell them it's handled.
If you're not in the mood for blueberries today, you can find all the same muscle-building performance in our banana-almond version, The Nutty Athlete.
The Athlete smoothie is high in key vitamins and minerals
Blending Tips
Liquids: for this blend, we love using 3/4 to 1 cup coconut, oat or almond milk
-or-
Frozen Fruit + Cold Water Method: 1/2 cup banana or avocado + 3/4 cup cold water.
Make your smoothie a bowl: create the base by blending the smoothie with 2/3 cup frozen banana (texture should be thick). Serve into a bowl and add your fave toppings like coconut, granola, fresh fruit, chia seeds, coconut yogurt.
