Pre-workout nutrition tends to get overcomplicated. The goal is simple: give your body something easy to digest, with enough carbohydrate for energy and enough protein to support the work you’re about to ask of your muscles.
This smoothie is built around that logic. Frozen strawberries and half a banana supply quick-digesting carbs and natural sweetness, while the frozen fruit does double duty by giving you a thick, milkshake-like texture without any added sugar. Unsweetened almond or oat milk keeps the base light, which matters when you’re heading to a workout rather than a nap. Stack & Sculpt and Core Strength round it out, so the protein is already accounted for.
The result tastes like a strawberry milkshake and comes together in the time it takes to find your trainers.
Pre-Workout Strawberry Cream Smoothie
- 1 serving Stack & Sculpt
- 1 serving Core Strength
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ banana
- ¾-1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- Handful of ice
Directions: Blend until smooth.
Tweaks worth knowing: Start with ¾ cup of milk for a spoonable, thicker texture and go to a full cup if you prefer to drink it. A frozen banana will make it creamier still. And if you’re sensitive to a full stomach during exercise, blend it 45 to 60 minutes before you train and see how it sits.
