What kind of protein works best for smoothie?
There are an untold number of protein supplements available across social media and the web, so it can be hard to find one that is clean and devoid of dodgy ingredients. While there are several which I could recommend, for this particular smoothie I prefer Equip protein. With minimal ingredients and several excellent flavors ( my favorite is the Caramel ) Equip is by far my favorite. But any brand works, just be sure that you ause discernment when choosing as often things aren’t what they seem.

- If you would like to make the thicker to put it in a bowl, you can use 3/4 cups blueberries.

My story…
I have been running for around a year and a half, and I have learned to appreciate the value of a nutritious and delicious snack after a long workout. Because of this, I drank this particular smoothie nearly everyday while training for a marathon in 2024, and it was always an excellent source of fuel.
This specific smoothie is best either before or after a run or workout, as it is rather sweet due to the berries and honey; but it can be enjoyed anytime.
