Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Power Smoothie

December 13, 2018 By Me2Admin

A nutritious, energizing smoothie for all of the chocolate lovers!

 

World, meet the yummiest smoothie in all the land. Not only is this little number delicious, it is packed with tons of vitamins, minerals and healthy fats to give you the energy you need to persevere when the caffeine rush dwindles. As a mama of two toddlers, it can be difficult to find the time to prep a meal thats not going onto a Dora or Paw Patrol plate. I like to blend this bad boy together before we leave the house in the morning and I’m pretty certain this has prevented a few ‘hangry’ meltdowns — from the adult in the room at least! Before I get into everything that is jam packed into this drink, there is one thing you are going to need.

Behold, the NUTRiBULLET. Not to be confused with the MagicBullet. While this little number is from the same manufacturers, it is a much higher performance blender. If you are looking for a pulverizer on a budget, search no more! For this smoothie recipe, you will need something like this, a Breville, Vitamix — you get the idea.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large scoop of Vega Protein & Greens
  • 1-2 tablespoon of Fatso high performance peanut butter
  • 2-3 whole or chopped dates
  • 1-2 cups of almond or cashew milk
  • 1 whole banana (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of Ovaltine for a little treat (optional – but also wtf?)
  • 1 tablespoon of Maca powder (or skip the maca powder and supplement with a capsule)

If you know me, you know that I have a very large sweet tooth and a love affair with Ovaltine. I know, weird and a little gross. But, I like how it cuts the protein taste out of the Vega powder. I was out of maca powder today, so I made sure I followed up this shake with a vitamin capsule which has the added benefit of ginseng.

Whether you are using this shake for post-workout recovery or just as your go-to morning pick me up, it will have you energized and ready to take on the day!

Feel free to improvise with your ingredients and switch it up if you get bored — maybe adding something like dried cherries, crushed almonds, or using one of the amazing Nut Meg Mylks. But, below are the three major components you will want to stick with if you are hoping to get that much needed energy boost.

Enjoy!

Mostly, I work with women but once a week this fel Mostly, I work with women but once a week this fella Todd rolls in and just inspires the heck out of me. He was born with #cysticfibrosis and the prognosis wasn’t good. But here he is in his 40’s working through the storm and showing up so he can feel his best. 

I hope his story lights you up. ✨ We all have the power to choose how we venture through things. It’s a journey friends. You’ve got this. 

Thankful for clients who remind me of why I love what I do so much. 🫶🏻

Today was for content 🎥! Every time I’m in Today was for content 🎥! 

Every time I’m in front of the camera I am overwhelmed by gratitude that this is my job. I get to move my body while helping others do the same. 

If you need accountability and community, we gotchu here @bodyzonefitness_consulting - peep (www.bodyzonefitness.ca) or don’t be shy and slide into my DM’s. 😏
God’s timing is always impeccable. ✨ Truly. God’s timing is always impeccable. ✨ 

Truly. When I tell the story of how I started with @lisapineda.fitness at @bodyzonefitness_consulting I still get goosies. 

I had seen this babe outside of my house for years. Okay that sounds a bit creepy but let me explain. 😜 

I often saw Lisa training clients outdoors literally outside of my house on the sidewalk or at the park. I always felt drawn to her energy and thought, “damn, she seems like such a badass.” Then, I see that our kids go to the same school. So naturally, being awkward like I am, I’d smile and wave here n’ there even though she didn’t know me from Adam. 😆 

Fast forward — it’s June 2022 and I’ve made it up the hill to drop the kids at school for the first time since my surgery a couple weeks prior. As I’m slowly making my way home, this beautiful blonde bombshell I’ve been creeping on for years walks up to me and asks me if I’m looking for clients. Huh? You know who I am? (Thank you Instagram). We get to talking and connect the dots of how intertwined our lives are. The next day I’m in her studio and we are talking business. A week later I’m training clients of hers while she’s away. 

So many beautiful things lined up to make this connection possible. The education I had submersed myself into over the last few years, the work I’ve put into personal growth and my business and ultimately, the decision to take a last minute opening to do my surgery a month sooner than expected. If I hadn’t, I would have been going into a major hysterectomy surgery that very week she asked me to team up with her. I would have had to say no, and she would have found someone else. But I believe with my whole heart that we were made to connect, on that very day, at that very time. 

Now we are creating magic together and I’m so dang thankful to do life with her. 

Keep doing the work. Keep showing up — and the doors will open when they are meant to. 🫶🏻
