Combining the benefits of unflavoured whey protein isolate and pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate, this smoothie supports muscle growth, recovery, and enhanced energy levels.

Ingredients:

• 1 serving (30g) of Unflavoured Whey Protein Isolate
• 1 serving (3g) of Creatine Monohydrate
• 150 ml of water or milk (your choice)
• 1 cup of spinach
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 apple, cored and sliced
• 1 tablespoon of almond butter
• 1 teaspoon of honey (optional)
• A few ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

Preparation:

• Spinach: Rinse the spinach thoroughly.
• Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
• Apple: Core and slice the apple into smaller pieces.

Mixing the Ingredients:

• Add to Blender: Start by adding the 30g serving of Unflavoured Whey Protein Isolate to the blender. Then add the 3g serving of Creatine Monohydrate. Pour in the 150 ml of water or milk.
• Spinach and Avocado: Add the spinach and avocado to the blender.
• Apple and Almond Butter: Add the apple slices and the tablespoon of almond butter.
• Honey: If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, add the teaspoon of honey.
• Ice Cubes: For a thicker, colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes.

Blending:

• Blend: Start blending on a low setting to mix the ingredients together. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender’s power.
• Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water or milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, add more ice cubes or another small piece of apple.

Serving:

• Pour: Once the smoothie is well-blended and reaches your desired consistency, pour it into a tall glass.
• Garnish: For an appealing presentation, you can top the smoothie with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of apple.

Consumption:

• Enjoy Immediately: Drink the smoothie right away to enjoy the fresh flavours and nutritional benefits.

Tips:

• Fruit Variations: Feel free to substitute the apple with other fruits like mango or pear for different flavours.
• Liquid Adjustments: If you prefer a more liquid consistency, increase the amount of water or milk.
