Primal Post Workout Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

I enjoyed a Primal Protein Blueberry Coconut Smoothie just a few minutes after a lift strength training workout. I will share the recipe with you below.

It only gave me 300 calories which was not enough but I didn't want a full meal since I knew I was going to eat at a local restaurant for brunch. There, I had a nourishing and delicious omelet along with a few non primal things that I will share in tomorrow's post!

\"Smoothie Recipe\"

This recipe is simple, yet tasty. The smoothie was fluffy due to the whey protein and not much else, however, if you add some crushed ice it should be less fluffy and smoother. Enjoy!

Primal Protein Blueberry Coconut Smoothie Recipe

• 1.5 Scoops Whey Protein Powder
• 1 C Frozen Blueberries (I used exactly 4.6 oz)
• 2 Tbsp Shredded Coconut
• 2 Drops Stevia
• 4 oz Water
• Add ice if you desire or have unfrozen blueberries

I personally prefer Now Foods brand of Whey protein powder. When you buy on Amazon in bulk you get a fantastic deal. Due to the fact that I live in Michigan, I picked blueberries from a local farm last summer. Several pounds worth of blueberries are still stored in the freezer from last year. If you have fresh blueberries then add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of ice or as desired to decrease the temperature.

The 2 drops of stevia added a little sweetness. The powder version of stevia is a lot better but a couple of liquid drops will do.

Quick Nutrition Breakdown

• 297 Calories
• 38.8 g Protein, 20 g Carbs (5 from fiber)
• Trace amounts of some vitamins and minerals

At less than 300 calories, this smoothie is perfect as a snack or as a "side dish" in a larger meal. It is a decent dose of protein. Three jumbo eggs cooked in coconut oil, butter or lard would be a great complimentary food to this smoothie. Eggs are one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet as well as one of the cheapest.

If you do enjoy this smoothie with eggs then be sure to eat the entire egg. The yolk is the most nutritious part of the egg and the cholesterol content has zero effect on your risk for heart disease.

Cost Breakdown - .43

• Whey Protein from Amazon - 90 cents
• Shredded Coconut from Amazon - 7 cents
• I-Pick Blueberries from Local Farm - 46 cents

This meal is not cheap but is not expensive either. If you double the recipe than most people have a full meal for under .

Low Carb Raw Chocolate Almond Smoothie Recipe (Paleo, Primal)

The following smoothie recipe has almonds and chocolate. It has 0 grams of sugar. It may have 20 grams of carbs but 9 of those are from fiber which pass right through your body. It has no fructose which is the worst sugar.

If you are looking to lose weight then consuming less carbs then you do now is a huge step in the right direction. I don't personally recommend going super low carb at under 50 grams per day but you may want to try it for a few weeks. I personally stay in the 100 to 150 grams of carbs a day range easily without ever thinking about what I eat. I don't have weight to lose but I would love to lose body fat while gaining muscle to help lean out more.

This recipe will do the trick. Its very tasty due to the stevia. Do you have something against stevia? Please do not be! I personally know someone who has lost over 200 lbs by eating low carb. He is a stevia enthusiast. He knows everything about it! He is a huge inspiration to me and I want to spread that inspiration.

Low Carb Raw Chocolate Almond Smoothie Recipe (Paleo, Primal)

On to the recipe.

Low Carb Almond Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

• 1 Cup Original Unsweetened Almond Breeze Almond Milk
• 1/4 Cup Ice
• 4 Drops Liquid Stevia
• 2 TBSP Almond Butter
• 1 TBSP Cacao Powder
• 2 TBSP Avocado

What exactly makes this smoothie low carb?

About 17% of the calorie count is from carbs. Nine out of 20 grams of carbs come from fiber. Our body does not digest fiber. When the carb percentage is in the 10-15% range I will look at the fiber content and then decide if is low carb or not. This on qualifies.

If you are not a fan of stevia then adding a quarter of a small banana should do the trick. This will only add about 5 grams of carbs which is not much.

I buy store bought almond milk but homemade is always best if you do not add any sweeteners to it. If you do not have any almond butter on hand then feel free to sub any other nut or seed butter. Adding cacao nibs at the end will give the smoothie a nice crunch. The avocado is added for smoothness.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. I am a huge fan myself as I have been drinking smoothies regularly for more than 5 years. I specialize in primal/paleo/low carb recipes since that is how I live my lifestyle.
