Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie

Have I ever mentioned that I typically live off of smoothies, especially in the summer? Now that the weather is getting warmer they are back to being a part of my regular meal planning rotation. I created this smoothie on Saturday, after my 10 mile run. I wanted something quick and simple, to allow my muscles to begin recovering. A few week’s ago I won a sample of My Mix Protein Powder from Megan’s blog, so I wanted to include that as my main source of protein.

A sweet and satisfying smoothie with fruits, veggies, and protein powder. Perfect post-run or as a snack any time of day!

I used frozen bananas, blackberries, and spinach to ensure that my smoothie was nice and cold without having to add ice. (I usually just keep a bag of spinach in the freezer.)

 As I said above, I used My Mix Protein Powder, which is chocolate flavored. Any chocolate protein powder will work!

And of course, a big scoop of peanut butter!

I love that smoothies are ready to go in less than 5 minutes, and the only real clean-up involved is washing the blender.

This smoothie is perfect post-run, for breakfast, or as a snack any time of day! Hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!

Do you drink smoothies all year or just in the winter?

What is your favorite protein powder flavor to use in smoothies?

    I love the addition of blackberries – and it makes the color so rich! Thanks for linking to Sunday Smoothie!

      Thanks for hosting! I’ve been making random smoothie creations all the time, but now I just need to remember what I put in them, and take a couple pictures:)

    That looks awesome, Lisa! I think after my long hill run today I might have to try it!

    Yay! Glad you’re enjoying it! The smoothie looks delicious, and good for you for getting in a 10-miler! 🙂

      I really like it so I’ve actually been using smaller scoops so that it lasts longer! I think I will end up buying some after its gone…but I will need to make it last a looong time:)

    May try some sort of almond butter or sun butter version, looks really good!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      I bet almond butter would taste great!(I’m not really familiar with sun butter). Hope you enjoy:)

    Looks delicious! Anything with bananas and peanut butter is great in my book. Also, the mug you are drinking with is awesome.

      Yes bananas and peanut butter are an amazing combo!

    I usually cut my spaghetti squash in half, poke holes it, then flip it so the flesh is upside down. Seem to work best!

It’s always worth it to get out there on a cold It’s always worth it to get out there on a cold Sunday morning when you get to see the sunrise. (Even if you were woken up 5 times the night before, but let’s not talk about that) 8 miles for my longest postpartum run! Are you getting out for a run this morning?

Not sure if it was the colder weather, the shoes, Not sure if it was the colder weather, the shoes, or the extra carbs but I ran 4 miles at a much faster than usual pace. Which was good because I got out 2 hours later than planned and needed to cut my run short to get back to the chaos of my house. At least I got to run in the daylight! (But I forgot my sunglasses because when I was originally dressed to go I had my headlamp and reflective vest on). Now, it’s time for more coffee!

And let’s not forget about carrying around that And let’s not forget about carrying around that infant car seat 😮‍💨 There are so many benefits to strength training that go beyond running. Right now lifting is more important than ever for me to help build back postpartum and to support my lifestyle of constantly nursing and carrying around a baby and all the stuff that kids require every day. What’s your main reason for strength training? #runnerswholift #runstrong #postpartumfitness #runhappyteam
Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍽 I’ve been SORE Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍽 I’ve been SORE this week due to heavier lifting and trying some new things at PT. But I was thankful to get in 5 easy miles this morning even though the wind made it feel pretty chilly out there! Are you turkey trotting today?
