Thirsty Thursday! My Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

Super Yummy Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie


Hello again Friends! Diet is every bit as important to your health and fitness as working out, so Thursdays are dedicated to the nutrition you can drink! Could be teas, could be juicing, but today, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite smoothie recipes ever. Try it at home! I recommend it for breakfast because of the amount of (natural) sugar inside. It is a balanced meal to give you energy all day long!

Recipe:

3 frozen strawberries
1/2 frozen banana
1 small scoop of ice
2 scoops Vi Shape Shake Mix
Water
-Blend together, pour into glass and drink OR put it in a bowl and add granola like I did-

With the granola, this shake is a total of 435 calories and includes:

20% Protein (22 grams) - For a healthy amount that your body can absorb for long term energy and to sustain your lean muscles that you are building or toning in your workouts. (Lean muscle mass also burns more calories at rest than unnecessary body fat)

24% Healthy Fat (12 grams) - to keep your organs functioning optimally and for enhanced absorption of other vitamins and minerals as well as keeping you full longer.

56% Good Carbs (62grams) - for instant energy and greater mental focus for a productive day, no matter what life throws at you!

160mg Sodium
565mg Potassium
13 grams Fiber
22 grams Sugar 
Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron

So there you go! I hope you enjoy your smoothie as much as I do! 
Healthy can be tasty, too!
