If you don’t know yet, you will now… Kendall and Issy welcomed their baby boy to the world on June 1st and are in a state of pure newborn baby bliss. One thing that Kendall and I have talked about on repeat is the awesome smoothie that Issy made her throughout her pregnancy and now while she is in the fourth trimester. A smoothie is a great way to get calories and nutrients all in one cup. You can pack it full of protein, healthy fats, vegetables, I’ve asked Issy for his recipe and he is graciously sharing it with us. Thanks Issy (and Kendall)! I cannot wait to test this out in the upcoming weeks and as a soon-to-be fourth trimester mama!
Issy’s Smoothie Recipe
8 oz of almond milk
1-2 scoops of vanilla protein (any type, it’s up to you)
1 banana
2 spoons of peanut butter
2 tablespoons of raw oatmeal
1 cup of frozen berry mix
1 cup of ice
(add more Almond milk as needed)
*makes 1 -2 smoothies
Add more of what you like to this recipe. Kendall loves more berry mix to balance out the banana. You can also add brewers yeast if you are breastfeeding to help with milk production. Or you can throw in chia seeds or flax seeds for more nutrients as well.
Let us know if you try out this recipe and what your go-to summer smoothie recipe is?
