My Favorite Pre-Workout Recipe

by deanec on July 22, 2009

We get asked a lot about what to eat before you come to train. I am partial to shakes because they are easy to prepare, digest quickly, and taste great!

Below is my absolute favorite recipe for pre-workout nutrition, a quick breakfast, or a healthy treat. Full of muscle building protein, antioxidants, and carbohydrates to get you through that tough workout, this recipe is a winner!

Very Blueberry SmoothieBlueberries

  • 1 Cup Frozen Blueberries (unsweetened)
  • 1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein (Ultimate Muscle Protein is our recommended brand!)
  • 1/2 Cup Nonfat Plain Yogurt (I love Stonyfield)
  • 2 Tbsp Whole Oats
  • 1 Cup Ice

Blend all the ingredients and Enjoy! I usually add 8-10 ounces of water because I like my smoothies thin – your choice!

Nutrition Information (approx)

  • Calories (k/cal) : 289
  • Protein (g) : 27
  • Carbohydrates (g) : 35
  • Fat (g) : 5

Give it a try and let me know how much you love it!

    For everyone at bootcamp undecided about the protein powder - I have always had a protein drink for breakfast. This powder by far exceeds all others in taste and price. I have tried many different brands. I'm hooked on this one!
  • Thanks for the testimonial Deb! We miss you!
  • Diana
    That sounds really good. I'll have to try it. I need more protein in the morning, instead of waiting til lunch to eat (somedays)..
  • Yes Stacey, the UMP is a high quality protein that we offer to our personal clients. We use it in our shakes and smoothies, as well as in some "desserts". Let me know what you would like...

    Blueberries are now is season, you can substitute fresh for the frozen.

    Maybe a trip to a blueberry farm to pick some should be our next field trip.

    What do you think?

    Dean, is the Ultimate Muscle Protein the powder that you and Nancy sell? She told me about it last week and I'd be interested in getting both the chocolate and vanilla, plus any other recipes you two have come up with that incorporates it (like the protein pudding)...I'm hoping to stave off some cravings and resist the urge to snack while cooking dinner or after dinner, too! Thanks!
