Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie

Take your post-workout protein smoothie up a notch with this easy recipe.

It’s sort of an unwritten rule. If you want to make a muscle-building smoothie, you have to mix it with banana, peanut butter, and of course use Elevate’s Chocolate-flavored protein powder.

After working out it is time to replenish your energy and give your muscles a chance to recover. Your post-workout smoothie should offer you both a plant protein and quality carbohydrates. Blending up a protein smoothie will provide you with just that….a perfect mix of protein, carbs, and super-foods for your muscles.

If you want the perfect (and delicious) post-workout protein smoothie, follow the recipes below. Each mouth watering sip will replenish your energy and help your muscles rebuild.

We recommend drinking this Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie about 30 minutes following an intense workout.
