Why You’ll Love It

This smoothie delivers balanced, long-lasting energy thanks to:
✔ Complex carbs from oats
✔ Protein from yogurt + nut butter
✔ Healthy fats for satiety
✔ Naturally sweet banana
✔ No added sugar

Helpful Hints:

• Store overripe bananas in your freezer.
• Cottage cheese is super high in protein if you’re needing a super-boost in protein.
• To make it easier to quickly add your protein powder, store it in one of these beautiful containers (link) on your countertop. Better yet, create a smoothie station so your blender, tools, and ingredients are all together and ready to go.

Create Your Own With These Key Energy-Boosting Ingredients:

• Carbohydrates: Fruits (bananas, berries, mango, pineapple) and oats provide the primary fuel source for energy.
• Protein: Greek yogurt, protein powder, and cottage cheese aid in muscle recovery and provide a feeling of fullness.
• Healthy Fats: Avocado, nut butters (almond, peanut), chia seeds, and flax seeds offer sustained energy and essential omega-3 fatty acids.
• Greens & Spices: Spinach, kale, and added ingredients like turmeric or ginger offer essential vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Liquids: Use water, almond milk, coconut water, or milk of choice to achieve your desired consistency and hydration.
