My Smoothie Recipe (Helped Me Lose Over 40 lbs)

Good morning guys, so today I'm going to show you my fruit smoothie mixture that I have after every single run. So I run first thing in the morning and then I have a protein fruit smoothie which I'll show you how to make now. A lot of people have been asking me what ingredients I use and how to make it so I'll try and make it as simple as possible. So yeah the first ingredient is one of the most important and it is, this is a protein powder I use, I'm not sponsored but yeah this is the type of protein powder I use. And what you're going to need is 25 I'm going to be measuring in grams, and what you need is 20 to 25 grams of protein, 2 grams of protein powder I use, and for the sake of the video, I'll lay it out on a tray just so you can get an idea of all the ingredients that I use, so yeah, that's the protein powder, next up, we will add, this is a nice supplement, chia seeds, and for this you don't need a lot, you only need about one and a half of those, and that is 15 grams of protein powder. And we'll lay it out next to this. Okay, so next up, we have some wheatgrass powder. And this one you have to be careful with, because this has the potential to ruin your whole drink. So you need a tiny amount. It smells very strong. It smells like you're eating grass a bit, so you don't want to go too mad with this one. I use basically nothing like half of it. That is... Okay, that didn't even register, but I'm very cautious with this powder. It's nice to have in a hot drink or something, but yeah, you don't want a lot of this stuff. And that was wheatgrass, I don't know if I mentioned that. And the last supplement that I use is Psyllium husk, I don't know how to pronounce it, but it's organic, and this stuff you have to be so careful with. It's nice, you don't really taste it when you blend it all up together, but if I tried to drink it in water the other day, and I've played a brief clip of what happened, but it was a bit of a disaster. Hold you guys, too much. So yeah, this stuff you can use quite a bit because it doesn't really taste of anything and it gets blended down into nothing. So I use about six grams of this stuff. I'll add this to the tray. Go have a look at the tray. So yeah, that's all the protein powder, chia seeds, wheatgrass and fiber. That's what we have so far. Now we move on to the fruit. First things first, I like to kick off with the kiwi fruit. These things are annoying to cut. We'll keep off the kiwi fruit. I'm not making it too nice, I'm just cutting out the video. Then after that, we'll go for a banana. I peel it the correct way, I think. This one's not too ripe, but I prefer it when it's a bit more white. But normally I wouldn't use, I don't eat the ends, for some reason. I use about half a banana, because you don't want to go too mad with all the sugar in these shakes. So yeah, I use about half a banana. Okay so next we're going to add some frozen berries and frozen fruits and vegetables. It doesn't really matter if they're frozen or not, it's just easier for storage. I know a lot of people complain about frozen food and a lot of people actually recommend it because it keeps the freshness, so I'm not too sure which is better, but for me it's just easier storage. So yeah I'm going to add these three things. So first of all we have mango and pineapple. As you can see it's quite high sugar so you don't want to use a lot of this stuff. I'm trying to get some mango and some pineapple. I really don't want to use a lot. Next up we have some summer fruits. Blueberries are very good for you. Again, you don't want to be using too much. Just a few of everything. One in low on these. But yeah, blueberries are great. And then not on with them. And then lastly, we have some Green smoothie mix, and this has kale, spinach, mango and kiwi, so I don't really want to add more mango or kiwi, but I'll focus on the kale and spinach, and some avocado, with a hint of lime and wheatgrass, so more wheatgrass, so that's why I didn't want to use too much earlier on, but yeah, add some spinach, so that's what it's looking like so far, next up, we have some oats, this is just a container I keep it in, these are quite handy, I have about, 20 to 30 grams of oats yeah that's 28 grams the last ingredient one that gives it a nice consistency is some fat-free natural yogurt again this has quite a lot of sugars in it because it's fat-free so you don't want too much of this i normally have i don't like that weird water stuff i normally have about 90 to 100 grams of this so i'll add this to the plate okay that's Oh, and one more thing I forgot. I add this sometimes. I normally drink this in a hot tea, but again, this is just, what is it? Matcha green tea. And again, you don't want too much. I've almost run out, so I add it to the mixture. But yeah, this has a very strong taste as well, so you don't want too much of this. And yeah, that's it. That's basically my fruit smoothie. So that's all the ingredients. Don't want too much fruit because there's a lot of natural sugars in it. Don't want too much yogurt. Good oats for the energy and a lot of supplements as well. So I add this. Into the blender, okay this may make a mess, obviously normally you wouldn't have a plate like this but yeah it was not a good idea. Okay so you get the idea, made a bit of a mess. You may be thinking although it's all very nice but it may be a bit dry if you add water to it. I actually add a very nice drink. Cranberry juice I have the light version because again you want to keep the sugars low you don't want too many sugars or calories so yeah this just really adds a nice flavor to it you want to be very generous with this drink because obviously this mixture is not going to taste too nice so this is probably what you want most of the flavor to taste like be very generous with this drink I would recommend and yeah let's blend it up and give it a try oh no I made a big mistake, I forgot to add the blades for the blender, so I don't know what's going to happen now. It should be alright, but yeah, we'll blend it up and give it a taste. We'll give it, this is what the mixture looks like. Quite a nice consistency, the chia seeds are quite crunchy and lumpy too. If you like that sort of thing, it's quite nice. But yeah, we'll give it a taste, cheers. It's drinkable, I mean it's pretty nice. You can taste mostly the cranberry juice, so that's the main thing. But yeah, overall it's a pretty nice drink. Something that sets me up for the whole day. I have it straight after my run so I'm replacing all the energy that I lost and it sets me up. I normally finish my treadmill workout about half ten or eleven. So I have this drink and then that will last me till dinner. Then I have a light dinner of chicken and rice or chicken wrap or mainly something to do with chicken and then maybe a light snack at the end of the night around nine or ten o'clock. But yeah, that's basically my meal. This is the fruit smoothie that I have with all the supplements. I hope you enjoyed, feel free to ask me any questions you have and thanks for watching.
