Banana & Honey Protein Smoothie
After a recent 5 mile run I was in need of a great tasting recovery drink that was packed with protein and potassium. The banana gave me the potassium I needed while the EAS whey protein added to the total amount of protein already provided by the vanilla flavored almond milk. I must say. This is one great tasting smoothie even without my favorite smoothie ingredient, peanut butter.
I generally add peanut butter into all my post recovery drinks, but this time I skipped it and was able to create a great tasting healthy smoothie without peanut butter!
Ingredients

- 6 oz. greek yogurt (honey flavored)

Pour the almond milk into your smoothie blender. Add Greek yogurt, banana slices, whey protein and ice cubes. Process until smoothielicious.
Protein Coconut Smoothie
After a 3 mile run on the treadmill I was in a creative mood when it came time to develop another post workout recovery drink. I scanned the kitchen for available ingredients and came up with a very thick flavor rich high protein recovery drink in the form of a smoothie.
This healthy smoothie recipe is packed with protein due to the EAS whey protein mix and Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has less carbohydrate than your regular yogurt and is packed with more protein than regular yogurt. The end result is one of the thickest and tastiest smoothies I’ve created a long while.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz.) Horizon Organic 2% Reduced Fat Milk
- 6 oz. Greek Yogurt
- 1 banana; sliced
- 1 scoop of EAS Vanilla 100% Whey Protein
- 1/2 tsp. Coconut extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Place the Greek yogurt, milk, whey protein, banana slices and ice cubes into your smoothie blender and process until smoothielicious.
