The Prettiest Pre-Workout Fuel Ever

You’ve totally double tapped those bad boys, and I hate to break your heart but oh my gawd. They might be pretty but usually, they’re freakin’ packed with sugar. Like sugar on sugar on sugar. Uh, NOPE. ?Instead of drooling and crying over something we shouldn’t have… over here at LSF HQ we came up with something that’s seriously just as pretty, as delicious, and bonus: it’s freakin’ GOOD for you! ?

How It’ll Fuel Your Workout

Two words: Greek. Yogurt. This is where you’ll get the protein aka the power to crush your workout!

The reason this pretty pre-workout bowl is so effective (and delicious) lies in the protein-packed Greek Yogurt. Add the berries and pitaya — both of which are lower in sugar than most fruits, not to mention delicious — and you’re setting yourself up for success. Sure, banana is higher in sugar/carbs, but that’s exactly what you need to provide some fast energy so you can power through an amazing sweat sesh! This will fuel you through Spring Slimdown or your HBSG! Or both! ?

Quick tips:

Don’t add too much liquid! You wanna be able to gobble it up with a spoon (think the acai bowls), not drink it. You want it to be thiikkk just like your booty ??
While you could use fresh fruit in a pinch, we’ve tried it all and frozen just works that much better. Helps it get the texture we’re after.
The stronger the blender, the better. With all that frozen goodness, you need a high power blender to make the desired texture.

HEALTHY SMOOTHIE BOWL RECIPE

Ingredients

Core components:

1 C Greek Yogurt
1 packet of frozen pitaya (here’s a good option – you can locate a store that carries it near you or buy online!)
1 cup frozen strawberries
Half of a banana
1-2 cups of almond milk

Directions

Put greek yogurt, pitaya, strawberries, and banana in a high-power blender. Add 1 cup of almond milk and blend. Add more almond milk gradually if needed. It can be helpful to stop the blender and stir the mixture periodically! Resume blending ’til you’ve reached the perfect consistency. Pour into a large bowl.
