Ingredients
1 ripe banana, peeled
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
juice from 1/2 lemon
2 scoops Naked Seed protein powder (or 1-2 scoops of protein powder of your choice, see notes)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth.

This pre-workout smoothie is best for if you have a shorter amount of time to exercise or you are performing a fast high-intensity workout of shorter duration.
If you are planning a longer duration workout (such as a 10km run, or another intense endurance activity of 1 hour or more, add 1/4 cup of whole grain rolled oats to your smoothie for slower digesting carbohydrates that provide longer-lasting energy)
