Toni’s Smoothie Recipe for Athletes (and Tired Parents) 

This can be altered to fit your taste buds. It is a complete meal replacement, quick and healthy breakfast or after-training snack to reload muscle glycogen. This provides over half your days worth of calcium – all from plant sources. I have found that a good blender makes all the difference. My kids like it to be smooth! Play around with it until you find a combination that you love.

  • 1 scoop of French Vanilla Juice Plus+ Complete® (See Resource Guide to Order)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 Tablespoon brewer’s yeast or nutritional yeast (provides B vitamins, an important addition for vegetarians)
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed for Omega 3’s (just put whole seeds in your coffee grinder)
  • Frozen or fresh fruit -- I like to use a few strawberries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries
  • Ice (optional but makes it thicker and colder)
Blend until smooth.
