This easy shake is a great addition to any athlete’s morning routine or post workout refuel. It’s full of anti-inflammatory properties including ginger and turmeric. Choose which ever type of protein you like, whey or plant based to add to the recipe!
Don’t forget whenever you cook or make recipes with turmeric you need to add black pepper and some fat for absorption. It can increase the absorption rate by up to 2000%
- 10 oz of unsweetened coconut milk, almond, hemp or non dairy alternative milk
- 1 medium banana ( I like to keep mine frozen for a thicker texture)
- 1/2 tbsp powdered turmeric
- 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 pinch of black pepper (this helps the absorption of the turmeric)
- 25g of your favorite vanilla flavored protein powder
- 1 tbsp of MCT oil or powder (fat will help absorption of turmeric)
- 10-20g of collagen peptides
(add honey or mango for extra carbs if you need to refuel after a workout)
*1 tbsp of Acacia powder if you need some extra fiber
