Introduction to Smoothies
Cassey introduces three smoothies tailored for workout-related needs, emphasizing their simplicity and convenience for on-the-go lifestyles.
Berry Muffins Smoothie – Pre-Workout
This smoothie is designed for pre-workout fuel. It combines oats, blueberries, and other ingredients rich in carbs and natural sugars to boost energy. It’s recommended to consume this smoothie 30 to 60 minutes before working out to harness its energy-boosting properties.
PB and J Shake – Post-Workout
Cassey highlights this post-workout shake’s focus on fats and protein, featuring ingredients like peanut butter to help rebuild muscles and provide lasting satiety. The shake aids in muscle recovery and keeps hunger at bay after a workout.
Metabolic Plus Smoothie – Advanced Option
For advanced smoothie enthusiasts, this offering features a mix of pineapple, mango, chia seeds, kale, and a distinctive ingredient: apple-cider vinegar. This powerhouse blend is noted for its metabolism-boosting and digestive benefits, though its sour taste is acknowledged as an acquired preference.

- Post-workout shakes must include proteins and healthy fats for muscle recovery and satiety.
