As an athlete, my favorite way to start they day was with either banana-peanut butter toast, or a protein smoothie – both high protein choices after my morning run and before classes.
Having the same thing every day can get boring after a while though, so I'm always looking for new tasty, high-protein smoothies. This smoothie recipe from LRT's Katie Prost is a new favorite. It's full of fresh vegetables, lots of essential vitamins and nutrients, and of course, protein.
Katie put it best when she said it's: “Pretty epic-tasting and healthy!!”
