This pre-workout banana chia smoothie is the perfect drink to supercharge your exercise routine and feed your muscles.
Most protein supplements are taken with just water, but why not add some healthy and delicious foods and turn that boring protein shake into something more?
Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in this pre-workout banana chia smoothie.
Bananas:
Bananas are one of the best sources of potassium out there. Potassium is an electrolyte, and is essential for muscle function.
Chia seeds:
They are high in protein and amino acids.
Oats:
Oats are an amazing source of protein and healthy carbs. Protein is essential for a workout because it helps feed and rebuild muscle. Carbs are very important as well, because they give you energy to bring more intensity to your exercise routine.
Whey protein:
You hear about how much protein body-builders eat, and it is for good reason. When you workout, your muscles get slightly damaged. Protein helps to quickly repair these damages to the muscle, which is what actually makes the muscle bigger and stronger.

Process the following ingredients in a blender:
1 banana
1 tbsps of chia seeds
3/4 cup of steel cut oats
1 scoop of whey protein
1 tbsp of almond butter
