Snickerdoodle Protein Recovery

The “Base Phase” is all about building a solid foundation for the season ahead. Whether you’re getting in shape for a race or lifting heavy in the winter, this phase is focused on recovery and strength-building to help you prepare for ramping up mileage in the spring.

And there's no better way to recover from that winter weightlifting than with protein, electrolytes, and caffeine.  

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (your preferred plant-based or whey protein)
• 1 cup brewed "The Base Phase" Snickerdoodle Flavored Electrolyte Infused Coffee
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1 tablespoon almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• Ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)

Directions:

1. Brew a strong cup of “The Base Phase” Snickerdoodle coffee, then chill it in the fridge or let it cool down.
2. In a blender, combine the cold-brewed Snickerdoodle coffee, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 frozen banana, almond butter, ground cinnamon, and almond milk.
3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
4. For an added chill, toss in some ice cubes and blend again.
5. Pour into a glass and sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for that snickerdoodle touch.
6. Enjoy your post-workout recovery shake, packed with the perfect balance of protein and electrolytes.
