Fuel Your Fitness: Start Your Day with a Banana-Avocado Protein Smoothie

Whether you’re watching calories and trying to lean-up, or you’re bulking up and trying to build muscle, getting a macro-balanced mix of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates is the key to fitness success. I like to start my day right with a Banana and Avocado Protein Smoothie. The key to the flavor profile of this recipe is the vanilla flavored whey protein powder, which provides just the right balance to the creamy avocado. I’m a smoothie junkie and keep Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream Whey Powder on hand, as it is a versatile mix in with berries, peanutbutter, bananas, and, yes, avocados. It also contains a naturally high level of Glutamine and BCAA’s to both fuel your workout and promote muscle recovery and growth.

Give the recipe a try and start your day off right:

• 2 medium bananas sliced or chunked

• 1 small-med avocado

• 1 heaping scoop Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream Whey Powder

• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or substitute your favorite dairy / dairy alternative)

• 1/8 cup crushed ice

Blend in your bullet or blender, and enjoy! Try the recipe and let us know what you think in the comments!
