MCT Smoothie

This mixed berry banana smoothie is exactly what you need to start your day or boost your workouts at the gym. The strawberry and banana give it a sweet, refreshing flavor, while the creamy MCT oil powder provides a boost energy, and the flavorless whey protein isolate takes away your hunger pains.

It’s the perfect mid-afternoon snack or meal replacement to keep you full and satisfied without containing a lot of calories. By giving your body incredibly nutrient dense foods your cravings will seem to disappear and you’ll feel better than you ever thought possible. It doesn’t hurt that it tastes absolutely delicious too.

Ingredient benefits

MCT Oil Powder

The first thing most people notice when they take MCT oil for the first time is that it’s just easier to think clearly and brain fog seems to disappear. It’s because your brain is mostly made up of fat which means you need to eat healthy fats to think clearly, feel at your best, and stay sharp well into old age.

Whey Protein Isolate

Whey protein has too many benefits to list. It’s an extremely pure source of protein your body can use for recovery and energy. It keeps you feeling full and strong to conquer whatever the day brings your way. Whey protein contains an incredible array of amino acids that can help you with strength, stamina, and to lose fat. If you’re experiencing late night cravings or gaining weight adding some whey protein to your diet can work wonders to boost your metabolism and kill your cravings.

Berries
Eating colorful berries is a great way to boost your health. They are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that keep you feeling good. They also taste great and freeze extremely well for smoothies. I always have a couple of bags of mixed berries ready to go for smoothies or late night sugar cravings.

Banana
Bananas are filled with potassium and fiber along with several other nutrients important for digestion, heart health, and weight loss. They are also one of the most popular fruits on earth and are also extremely cheap. Bananas can be frozen when they start to turn brown and be used for smoothies as they are at the peak of ripeness. They add a delicious creamy texture and tropical taste that has been loved for centuries.
