Tempo Smoothie

Getting through the week's last quality workout before the weekend's long run can feel exhausting, exhilarating, give a sense of relief or even celebration. Today felt like  a I'm going to need coffee in my smoothie kind of day, so I adapted from Sara Hall's recipe in the most recent Outside magazine, and here's what I did! 

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Gluten Free Oats

  • 1/2 tablespoon Almond Butter

  • 1/2 scoop Vega Sport Chocolate Protein Powder

  • 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder

  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Califia Almond Milk (the best, IMO)

  • 1/2 cup Coffee

  • 1 cup Ice

  • 1/2 banana (optional) I ended up adding a 1/2 banana to sweeten it up, plus I like the texture it gives a smoothie, but you could certainly add a touch of honey or agave to sweeten it instead. 

Instruction:

Easy! Add all of the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
