Excerpted from The No Meat Athlete Cookbook by Matt Frazier and Stepfanie Romine.
As athletic goals have gradually given way to the priorities and time constraints that come along with having children, Matt’s go-to smoothie has transformed into one that can be made quickly. And, it’s a smoothie that the kids enjoy day in and day out, despite taste buds that seem to change with the day of the week. Make it more superfood-y as desired; we often include a tablespoon or so of wheatgrass powder and goji berries to get more nutrition in the glass without sacrificing taste.
