The Man Smoothie: Change your life. Change your body. Save Time.

There are so many fad smoothies out there they have polluted Google searches to the point of exhaustion.  I am here to cut through the bullshit and give you guys something you want.  This is a smoothie that will give you a ton of energy in the morning, let you keep your sick days for vacation days, increase concentration, and build muscle.  It sounds ridiculous, I know.  Since I have been drinking this every day I haven’t been sick, had a cold, nothing for about 2 years. It is antioxidant heaven.  Its good for you and it tastes good…now that’s hard to beat.  The following recipe has been carved from years of failure into a work of exquisite art.  I will now pass my smoothie secrets on to you.

***Buy a good blender.  Look at the Blendtec or the Vitamix.  The Ninja will do, but anything less than $100 is garbage and will turn out chucky and more like salsa than a smoothie.***

3/4c Frozen Mixed Berries (I buy them at Costco.  Blue, black, and raspberry)

2 Whole Frozen Strawberries (Also huge bag at Costco)

2 Cups of Frozen Kale (Any kale will do.  Get the deepest green you can find and throw it in the freezer

2/3 Cup Fat Free non-flavored Greek Yogurt (I but at Costco to save a few bucks but you can find this anywhere)***NOTE: you can leave this out if you are dairy free

1/2  Cup Raw Oats

8-12oz Water

3 Ice Cubes

***NOTE: If you blend the mixture on high with protein powder it will turn very frothy and be full of air.  So add the protein after like described above.

I add the following but can be substituted depending on your supplement regimen:

5g Creatine Monohydrate, 1tbls Ground Flax Seed, LG EAAs and BCAAs

WHILE BULKING:  Try adding 1tbsn almond or peanut butter, 2 raw whole eggs, and use VitD milk instead of water.

WHILE CUTTING:  Omit the oats and the yogurt

FOR WOMEN:  Omit the yogurt and add some love

 Without modifications, the original smoothie above should get you around:

25-30g Protein60g Carbs1-2g Fat

I eat this smoothie every morning with 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites boiled.   This is great post workout as well.

ENJOY!
