CrossFit nutrition: Pre & post WOD protein smoothie
Posted by Tanja on Aug 9, 2011 in CrossFit | 0 comments
It can be challenging to find enough time to whip up a proper protein filled breakfast before an early CrossFit session. I’ve discovered that protein smoothies make those early mornings just that little bit easier.
I’ve been looking for a protein supplement that is not filled with sugars or artificial sweeteners, additives and preservatives. I realise that protein supplements are still outside what is considered paleo, but the current brand I’m using seems to be a good compromise between health and results as it’s all natural ingredients and no nasties.
As a bonus it’s very yummy and doesn’t upset my very sensitive stomach.
Pre-workout:
Blend all ingredients until smooth and drink 30-60 minutes before workout.
- 2 tbsp all natural chocolate protein powder
- 0.5 banana
- 4 large strawberries
- 1 passion fruit
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup water
Post workout:
Blend all ingredients until smooth and drink 45 minutes after workout.
- 4 tbsp all natural chocolate protein powder
- 1 banana
- 6 large strawberries
- 1 passion fruit
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
