Thanks for your thoughts! Bee pollen is the protein in this particular smoothie – it’s the most complete superfood found in nature as it has all 22 essential amino acids! How cool is that! A complete protein from bees!

Mmmm… nuts are ALWAYS good in smoothies too! Hadn’t thought of oats! I’ll have to try it…

I would probably recommend adding some protein to that too Susan… especially something with glutamine in it. Your muscles use glutamine (the amino acid) so having it in your smoothie will really help with stamina and recovery. Protein will also lower the glycaemic load and make it a little more of a sustained release and steady stream of energy… (obviously you want to manage this with the digestibility factor too…)

So some soaked or ground almond, walnuts or some tree nut butter … actually oats even have a reasonable amount of glutamine…

;o) Good luck… excited for you!
