    Coconut-Almond Avocado Protein Smoothie

    Coconut-Almond Avocado Protein Smoothie

    Tropical protein smoothies are the perfect way to smooth over the post workout soreness.  With only a few ingredients and 5 minutes you will feel like you are in a tropical resort.  You are also rewarding your body with the nutrients it needs.  My wife has made this recipe a lot of times but just haven't posted yet.

    How much, what kind and when to use protein

    A protein smoothie is a great recipe for breakfast or after a workout.  Your body needs more protein when you workout.  The amount depends on how much you weigh.

    Calculating your protein dosage

    Generally, you can go for 1.4-1.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.  If you want to convert to pounds there are 2.2 pounds per kilogram.  Just divide your weight in pounds by 2.2 and then multiply by 1.6.  That's about what I would use for my routine of alternating between lifting weights and cardio workouts.  Generally, whey protein  is the best absorbed by the body.  Furthermore, it is better absorbed if taken right before sleep.   I use an unflavored whey protein powder in this recipe.

    Choosing a healthier coconut milk

    Coconut milk is high in saturated fat so I used the Silk brand coconut almond.  I like it because it has less saturated fat.   Silk is also less viscous and has the added flavor of almond milk.  It turned out wonderful.  I gave it to my wife as breakfast in bed after rock climbing for a solid 2 hours last night.  I left it on her night stand this Saturday morning and about 15 minutes later I heard a, "Wow!".   Your significant other is a long term investment.  If you want to keep enjoying them keep them healthy and happy.  

    Nutrient Value of Coconuts, Almonds and Avocados

    The particular ingredients I chose are high in healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins.  Using the brand of coconut almond milk I used it is low in calories relative to other choices as well.  They are not paying me to say that.  I really need an intern to set that up.  If anyone is interested in learning about blogging.  😉  We pay in education and delicious food.
