Max Wettstein: Max Wettstein here again, welcome to my home. This is my kitchen I'm ready even my kitchen because today I'm going to take you through how to make my ultimate smoothie. You're looking at some of the ingredients and there are so many because the options or endless with the smoothie anything goes, you can just throw anything you want there, and the more you do throw into your favorite super foods the healthier and the more nutritious; nutritious is going to get.
Now today I'm going to make a post workout recovery smoothie. Make no mistake this is not await bar smoothie, this is not low calory smoothie; this is a not low carb smoothie. What is this flowing your workout its good for there is recovery window when there, when your muscle cells already to uptake nutriens, glycogen and protein to start replenishment in the recovery. Now there is an idle ratio for that, it's three parts carbohydrates to one part protein.
Now the protein, you could use egg wise everything here is pretty much all natural and raw except for the protein powder. Now the scientists are just getting so good at giving you the absolute best protein now isolating it; then I'm going to go ahead use of protein powder for mine the great all -- great thing about protein powder is it sugar free and carb free that's you get plenty of carbohydrates involve this other ingredients. So, on here I just want protein and that access artificial sweetener that does cut down sugar a little bit. Okay, I'm going to show you some of the ingredients just highlight the really selected ones. I'm going to listen recipe at the end of this video now from me since anything goes in a smoothie the ingredient ratios are totally approximate just whatever you want, I'm going to give you an approximation right now.
Start with one medium to large banana and I learned little secret for my wife that if you use of frozen banana, it just gives it creamy texture so much more so if it chance freeze the banana and the more of right the better, it just square better consistency. We're talk about the step 2. Yogurt in this yogurt I'm going to go low fat all natural yogurt with the some of the natural sugars in there, you're going to get the great supply a probiotic beneficial bacteria, it so good for your colon. It's also going to make your smoothie a creamier and you're going to add more protein and calcium among other nutrients.
What else do we have, I'd like to add about half cup of oat meal, I go for instant because it blintz a little better. If you just cooking oat meal on the stove then you want steel oats. But right here just go for instant oat meal better half cup. Flaxseed oil, this is the great source of Omega-3 fatty acids and other essential Omega fats. You could use some middle flax seeds, I just like to squeeze about a tablespoon in; you'll see me do that. We talk about the protein powder it's a kind of protein smoothie and this is my source of protein one scoop of your favorite protein powder, vanilla, chocolate whatever your favorite flavor go for it. That's going to give you about 25 to 40 grams of protein and it's also going to help lower the glycemic load
You're going to low fat organic milk about three quarters of a cup or soy milk if you're not into diary or maybe you know you're lactose intolerant or ever or rice milk anything goes just keep it organic try keep it natural, try to keep this raw. Peanut butter or almond butter. I'm going to go almond butter today again this is raw this is natural. You look at the back of these all you see is peanuts and almonds because it's really should be in almond butter or peanut butter. You don't need all than other junks in there so go for all natural and raw that's again is going to give it the creamy consistency and just great nutty flavor this also cashew nuts, wall nuts whatever you want to do. Here is a great greens powder blend, I'm not the best it's again my best salads each day I know there is lot people against supplements but there is some great supplements out there folks.
Just a teaspoon of the green spirulina powder and that's going to add even more beneficial probiotic bacteria as well, raw enzymes that help you digest. Honey, this is how I like to sweeten if you want some additional sweet, sweet taste in there go for the raw honey again its raw there are so many micro nutriens in honey of it, which is too many account the bees make it, it's a miracle super food and it's a great sweetener. Alright, here is the really fun one; this is raw cacao nibs also known is coco nibs good friend of mine. One of my good friend he bought my David Wolfe naked chocolate help that these when you buy dark chocolate bar it's the cacao it's you want you know 70% cacao content, this is raw cacao nibs and no sugar once again but just lots of any accidents lots of flavor and nice little crunchy chocolate pieces in your smoothie.
Again always this is options here we go some dry raw organic blueberries another powerful source of anti-oxidants. Goji powder powerful anti-oxidant, radical micro nutriens from a powerful berry. Again, you guys are looking guys and gals who are looking a build a little bit of lean muscle this is the great time to adjust your creating post workout just about five grams scooping you uptake it with all this nutriens because insulin will act as a shuttle to drive always nutriens into your muscle cells, here we go. One frozen banana going in and I did wash my hands just in case any body has taken note of that. Alright, I'm going to get in the half cup of obione here it goes. All natural yogurt with the probiotic bacteria.
Now, moving forward this is how I make things folks, because I made lot of these. Here goes my tablespoon, teaspoon of flax oil, the honey for the sweetener. Again full of magical micro nutriens the bees make it's gotta be good. The raw cocoa nibs sugar free for look at chocolate, dry well blueberries some Goji berry powder then make me super food, we got the protein powder coming in, right here this protein powder made by Edberg has about 25 grams of protein for scoop.
Today, I'm going to go with some organic 1% milk about three quarters cup some greens blended powder again living enzymes more probiotics and bunch of green vegetables raw just ground up, for guys like me, if we don't get there vegetables.
The almond butter, now you can use peanut butter, cashew butter, walnut butter the ingredients on the back of this almonds, crushed almonds. There is no high fructose corn syrup here. This is all natural. Now, again, I don't know claim to haven't been this recipe because many body builders, fitness models and peoples can just inter lean body mass have some sort of variation this smoothie I'm not the done is there are cores and lot of guys that made videos like this, and so this is just my variation.
Now you got ice, time to blend this smoothie against about one-and-a-half servings we're going to split it our post workout recovery smoothie this is also great for breakfast.
So, there we go its going to get little love here. This is basically raw all natural almost all organic drink.
