Post Workout Shake

Protein is always a hot topic which I will talk about in a later post. Try to get your protein in within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. 

 I drink this smoothie almost every morning because it is jam packed with protein which keeps me full and grows my Sponge Bob arms! I absolutely love Ideal Fits protein, it is by far my favorite. You can find a more about this protein here. 

Here is the recipe:

-3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
-2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
-1/2 banana (frozen if you like a thicker consistency)
-1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use Ideal Fit- Chocolate Brownie)
-1 tablespoons of natural peanut butter (there is never a thing of too much peanut butter)
-6-8 ice cubes

Directions:
-Place in a high speed blender (I use my Blendtec) and enjoy!!

Happy running friends,
Kylie

Supplements

Supplements.... Supplements... Where to begin! The fitness industry can be a very messy, intimidating and contain a lot of misleading information. Supplements are a huge money maker for companies because everyone is looking for that "magical pill" to make them fit into those high school jeans. If you know me, I am a very naturalist person but I also do take supplements. I love to find very natural supplements and limit my caffeine intake. **Disclosure- I am not paid to represent any of these products. They are all just products that I like and recommend to everyone in the fitness world. My schedule: Wake up at 4:30 AM- Take my pre-workout from WM Nutrition & L-Carnitine from Ideal Fit During my workout- sip on Ideal Fit's BCAAs & WM nutrition Hydrenengery After my workout- IdealFit Protein Powder At breakfast- Glucosamine and daily multi-vitamin Here are what they look like and links to where you can buy them: Pre workout- WM Nutrition WM Nutrit...
