High Protein Smoothies Recipe for Bulking

 

Six High Protein Smoothies

Description

Smoothies are a phenomenal way to get in your protein, increase your calorie consumption for bulking, and load up on fiber and micro nutrients. The only drawback, if you’re like me, is getting a smoothie recipe dialed in to perfection and then sticking to the one smoothie until I inevitably get sick of it. So, here is the collection of recipes I have collected over time that eventually solved my problem. With this list of smoothies on rotation, I always enjoy my smoothies without ever getting board of the same flavour every day.

Banarama

My go to smoothie. As I mentioned, I keep my smoothies on rotation, but if I ever make the same flavour two days in a row, it’s the banarama.

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut water if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops Bulk by Steve Banana (mass gainer protein powder) or 1 scoop Grow by Steve Vanilla Cupcake, Banana, or Banana Coffee if you’re not bulking.
  • 1 frozen banana
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Ice to your preference. As a rule of thumb, you want about the same amount of ice to frozen fruit.

Tips and twists: if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a couple of dates to the recipe. You can also add in a shot of fresh espresso. I usually do this if I’m having my smoothie with breakfast. If you want to up the calories even further, add some peanut butter. You may need to increase the almond milk to accommodate the added density.
