Preparing for your workout with the right nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. The key is simple: provide your body with easily digestible food, including enough carbohydrates for energy and sufficient protein to support your muscles during exercise.
This smoothie is designed with that principle in mind. Frozen strawberries and half a banana offer quick-digesting carbs and natural sweetness, while the frozen fruit also creates a thick, milkshake-like consistency without the need for added sugar. Unsweetened almond or oat milk keeps the smoothie light, which is ideal for fueling your workout. With Stack & Sculpt and Core Strength, the protein aspect is already covered.
The end result is a strawberry milkshake-flavored smoothie that can be whipped up in no time, perfect for grabbing before your workout session.
Pre-Workout Strawberry Cream Smoothie
- 1 serving Stack & Sculpt
- 1 serving Core Strength
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ banana
- ¾-1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- Handful of ice
Directions: Blend until smooth.
Tweaks worth knowing: Start with ¾ cup of milk for a thicker texture that you can spoon, or increase to a full cup if you prefer to drink it. Adding a frozen banana will make it even creamier. If you find that a full stomach during exercise bothers you, try blending the smoothie 45 to 60 minutes before your workout to see how you feel.
