Blueberry Body Builder

It's not only athletes that need to build and repair muscle-we all need the right blend of daily protein for optimal energy and recovery. This creamy blueberry cashew smoothie hits the sweet spot with organic superfoods rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) for healthy muscles. It's the perfect balance of plant protein and antioxidants to power your day.

Blueberry Body Builder Smoothie

• 1 cup (8 oz.) cashew milk (or your favorite nut milk)
• ½ banana (can be sliced and frozen)
• Handful of raw organic cashews
• Dash of organic vanilla extract
• ½ cup frozen organic blueberries
• 2 scoops Organic Super Protein

Instructions

Blend all ingredients (except blueberries) until smooth. Set aside half the shake, and then blend the blueberries with the remaining mixture. Pour the two blends alternately and garnish with a few frozen blueberries. Enjoy!

The Good Inside

Cashew milk and nuts provide plant protein, and come with healthy fats that help you feel full. They're also rich in minerals including copper, manganese and magnesium. Banana makes this smoothie extra creamy and replenishes electrolytes lost during exercise.

The antioxidants found in blueberries (called anthocyanins) have been shown to support brain health. These superfood berries build your body in other ways too, by calming the oxidative stress that comes with exercise, leading to faster muscle recovery.

Two scoops of Organic Super Protein provide 18g of vegan plant protein sourced from organic superfoods, energizing MCTs that satisfy cravings, and organic omegas to support heart health.

This delightfully creamy and satisfying vegan shake is full of easy-to-digest proteins and comes with foods rich in BCAAs. Its low sugar and high protein profile means you'll have long-lasting energy. Use it as a fast and filling organic breakfast smoothie or after any workout for a rapid recovery.
