In order to strip off the fat, add lean muscle mass & to provide your body with all the best vitamins & minerals try the following recipe.
Once you have mixed it up sit back and read on to discover why this green smoothie is going to help you achieve your goals…
- Handful of Ice
- 1 Banana
- 1 Handful of Organic Kale
- 1/3 Lemon
- 3 Dates
- 1/4 Cup of Water (Or Coconut Water to make it sweet)
- 1 1/2 scoops of 100% Whey Protein Powder (Sugar Free is important!!See Supplement Page or Use Egg whites from 6 eggs).
- 1/4 cup of oats
- Add either 2 Tablespoons of Pomegranate/Goji Berries/Acai Berries Teaspoon of Flaxseed Oil
As you can see, this nutritious smoothie contains a wide variety of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins & minerals.
Carbohydrates can be found in breads, pastas, fruit and vegetables and they are important for providing you with energy to get through the day or for the athlete to get through their workout.
Slow release carbs such as oatmeal & bran cereal (eaten in the right quantities and at the right times) can actually help you to burn fat!!! The banana and oatmeal that you are consuming in this green smoothie provide you with the perfect amount of carbs to be taken either for breakfast or directly post workout.
Protein is needed for muscle tissue repair, building of muscle mass, creating hormones and amino acids while regulating good immune function. Protein is found in meats, fish, tofu, low fat cheese, low fat milk, beans, nuts and legumes.
According to the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), we require between 1.2 grams and 2.2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight per day for muscle building.
This is of course in combination with hard training & surplus calorie consumption. If you do not wish to put on lean muscle aim for about 1/2 this amount.
The recommended amount of protein required for muscle growth is found in the above recipe in the form of either 6 egg whites or 1 ½.
The rest of the ingredients such as pomegranate, goji berries, acai berries and kale and other raw food all contain a plethora of vitamins & minerals necessary for overall health & well-being. This green smoothie will give you the absolute best start to the day and I can guarantee you will notice the health benefits.
