These are seriously my favorite “meals” of the day. These recipes can always be tweaked to your liking! That’s how I came up with them in the first place, but just monitor what you put in to keep the sugar low!
Post-Workout Smoothie
Ingredients
1 frozen banana
1 cup Greek yogurt
1.5 TBS flaxseed-good for balancing blood sugar!
1 TSP cinnamon- also good for balancing blood sugar!
1 to 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk- no sugar!
1 scoop Pro Champ chocolate protein powder-this is one of the few powders with no added sugar! The instructions say two scoops, but I found that to be too strong, so I stick with one.
I make a shake in the mornings now as well because I can no longer stomach eggs at 5:30am!
Morning Smoothie
Ingredients
1 frozen banana
1/4 cup of oats-also good for stabilizing blood sugar!
1 to 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop Pro Champ chocolate protein powder
2 tbs of peanut butter
I use this one because there’s no added sugar!
Both of these shakes clock in at just over 400 calories, so they do stick with me for a while (2-3 hours.. pretty good seeing as I’m breastfeeding and CONSTANTLY hungry!)
