PROTEIN SMOOTHIE PARFAIT
Prep time: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- *1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries/berries
- 1/2 cup ice
- *1 scoop vanilla WPI protein
- *1 scoop of chocolate collagen
- *1 tsp creatine (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- *1/2 cup granola
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a blender, add in your milk, banana, berries, ice, cinnamon and protein supplements (in this order to avoid the powder sticking to the sides of the blender)
2. Blend until a smooth thick consistency occurs
3. In a large glass pour 1/4 of your granola on the bottom followed by a 1/3 of your smoothie mix
4. Repeat the above steps until no mixture or granola is left
NOTES:
*WPI = whey protein isolate which is an easy-digesting form of protein and is low in fat and lactose
*Collagen = As an athlete, I supplement with collagen to support my tendon and ligament strength, but this is an optional add-in.
*Creatine = Is naturally produced by the body but aids in supporting lean muscle mass as well as increases the supply of energy to your muscles during short bursts of intensity
Protein of choice = true protein
Granola of choice = Sunsol chocolate protein granola OR my chocolate protein granola recipe found under Breakfasts
