Tropical Protein Smoothie with 12g of protein
After a Pilates workout, it's important to refuel your body with the right nutrients. One delicious way to do this is with a tropical protein smoothie. Not only is it packed with vitamins and minerals from tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, but it's also high in protein, which is essential for muscle recovery and growth. In fact, this smoothie recipe contains 12g of protein, making it the perfect post-workout snack.
To make this smoothie, you'll need a few key ingredients. First, you'll need 1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks, which are rich in vitamin C and can help reduce inflammation in the body. You'll also need 1 cup of frozen mango chunks, which are high in fiber and can aid in digestion. For protein, you'll use 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder, and for liquid, 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk, which is rich in electrolytes and adds a delicious tropical flavor.
To make the smoothie, simply blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more frozen fruit or less liquid. If you like your smoothie sweeter, add a drizzle of honey or or 100% pure maple syrup. You can also customize the recipe by adding other tropical fruits like papaya or passion fruit, or by adding a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrition.
For best results, use high-quality ingredients from trusted brands. Some recommended brands include Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder, which is vegan and free of artificial sweeteners, and So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk, which is dairy-free and low in calories.
