Just because breakfast isn’t trending anymore, doesn’t mean breakfast food should be neglected. Bananas are loaded with fast-acting carbohydrates and are the perfect pre- or post-workout snack, and oats are high in fiber and complex carbs and provide a sustained release of energy into the bloodstream.
For a healthy dose of fat and protein, we included hemp seeds, nut butter, and yogurt in this delicious and athlete approved Banana-Oat Morning Smoothie. And for a performance-boost and a reduction in muscle soreness, we also added a sprinkle of raw cacao and cinnamon.
