Lean Body Shake – Oatmeal Energizer Smoothie

A Lean Body Shake Recipe…by Brad Campbell

Here’s a smoothie recipe that you can blend up for breakfast when you’re short on time and want something to take with you.  As always, it’s “lean body certified,” but does have a decent amount of carbs, which is why it’s best to consume for breakfast.  You’ll be buzzing with energy after you slam this baby…

Lean Body Shake – Oatmeal Energizer Smoothie:

—> 1 cup apple juiceLean Body Shake

—> 1 frozen banana

—> 4 BIG tablespoons of uncooked (plain) oatmeal

—> 2 teaspoons of sugar-free maple syrup

—> 2 BIG scoops Whey Protein

—> 3 ice cubes

—> blend that bad boy and start sipping for instant energy

Try these lean body shakes out as well:

—> Fat Loss Friendly Pineapple Deliciousness

—> Strawberry Boom Boom

Let me know if you dig this smoothie or if there’s any special requests you have for ingredients in future lean body shake recipes (I’ll be the guinea pig and see if I can create something magical for your taste buds).

Your Coach,

Brad Campbell

    Loving this one.
    Heres a challenge for you, create a lean shake that is cookies and vanilla icecream flavour, like ben and jerrys cookie dough but good for me
    I shall take my hat off to you sir if you can make a healthy shake out of that request

    haha, I should have clarified – ingredients must of course be at least moderately healthy in their natural state…believe me, i’ve already tried this request and every time it ended up in either a fat-storing, super tasty smoothie…or a very healthy form of liquid cardboard.

    hey Brad any ideas on a substitute for the apple juice on this one or does that work the best

    I think you could roll with just about any kind of juice – or replace the apple juice with your favorite kind of fat free yogurt. This tastes awesome, as I usually do that with my regular oatmeal.

    Hey Brad do you think this would this be a good choice to pound down before a hockey game? or other sporting event? just curious on what you think about that

    Thanks Again,

      absolutely – I have a shake like this about 1.5 hrs before a workout when I really want to tear it up. would def be good before any sporting even for a steady supply of energy.

      Kevin – sorry bout the delay in this response – I had meant to whip up a post to answer this question and still will. Wow, 4:30am…that’s dedication man. You basically need caffeine and protein. My buddy actually has an awesome drink that has like 20 gms of whey protein, plus a pretty standard energy formula and it’s under 100 cals. It’s called Whey Up and these have helped get me energized without adding lots of cals when I’m trying to get lean. It’s a solid drink, but might get kinda pricey if you wanted to have one daily. I also use some whey protein powder and a pre- and post-workout drink from Prograde. Here’s a post I did about that: Prograde Protein. Other than that, you could cycle creatine, glutamine and BCAA’s as well, but for what you described, some form of caffeine/taurine/B-vits/etc (energy) plus good ‘ole whey protein is really all you need. Hope this helped.
