Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk that doesn’t piss you off)
1 frozen banana (for creaminess and potassium)
1 scoop protein powder (plant-based or whey, your call)
2 tbsp rolled oats (extra fiber + staying power)
1 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter, because chaos needs choices)
1 tbsp chia seeds (fiber, omega-3s, gut love)
Optional: ½ cup brewed coffee (cold, strong, unapologetic)
Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
Toss everything in a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste. If it doesn’t taste like victory, add more nut butter.
Pour into the largest cup you own. Bonus points if it looks like a weapon.
Why It’s Good For You
This smoothie hits protein, carbs, and healthy fats. The holy trinity of recovery. It refuels your glycogen stores, repairs muscle, and keeps your energy steady so you don’t crash face-first into your keyboard by 10 a.m. Plus, if you added coffee, you’re basically indestructible until lunch.
Final Note
You didn’t wake up at 5 a.m. to eat like a rabbit. You woke up to fuel like a warrior. This isn’t a smoothie it’s a loud, liquid middle finger to burnout. Drink up.
Grab your smoothie and dive in!
