Le Samourai:
I usually have a shake before and after a hard kettlebell workout. I also have one in place of dinner on nights I have martial arts training. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a stomach full of solid food don't mix!

Here's my go-to smoothie recipe:

•   10-12 oz. cold green tea or water

•   1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk

•   1-2 frozen bananas

•   1/2 cup frozen organic mixed berries

•   1/2 cup frozen organic spinach, kale, or both

•   1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and/or chia seed

•   2 to 3 tablespoons protein powder

•   1 teaspoon powdered greens or spirulina (optional)

•   1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

A few quick points...

Add more green tea (or water) if the smoothie is too thick.

I use NutriBiotic rice protein powder. My smoothies tend to have 20-30 grams of protein.

Sometimes I substitute frozen tropical fruit (pinapple, papaya, mango, etc.) or acai in place of mixed berries.

You won't taste the spinach or kale.
