Pick your smoothie!
We have created the perfect peanut butter smoothie for both workout/gym days and rest days.
Our workout day smoothie is higher in carbohydrates and fat for sustained workout energy to help you smash those workout goals. Plus it’s got protein for muscle recovery. ????????
Our favourite rest day smoothie is higher in protein for muscle recovery (DOMS anyone!) and stabilises blood sugar to kick those sugar cravings in the butt!

How it works…
The workout smoothie:
The carbohydrates from banana in the workout smoothie raise insulin levels which drives glucose into muscles for energy during workouts. If you have your workout smoothie after your workouts, carbohydrates from banana help to shuttle nutrients from your smoothie into muscles for repair and rebuilding. The fat from peanut butter provides sustained energy during workouts and also helps the body to absorb fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant and vitamin K for bone health.
The rest day smoothie:
High in protein for building muscle, repairing cells and regulating metabolism. Fueling your body on rest day is vital for recovery and getting stronger at your next workout. We have included peanut butter powder for that delicious peanut taste without the extra energy. There’s no banana in this smoothie as when your glycogen is topped up you and you take extra carbohydrates on board the body just converts it to fat.
