Best Recovery Smoothie! | Recipe + Ingredient Breakdown

- I have had some questions regarding the smoothie you guys always see me drinking! Here I go into more detail on each ingredient.
Food can be such a powerful tool and to think that so many people just shake up protein and water after their workout hurts my brain. Watch this and refuel better.

Anyone else on the Turmeric train? If there is one spice I would love to see people consuming it is Turmeric. The evidence is mounting on this nutraceutical becoming one of the most beneficial available to us. Get it in ya!
Simnett Nutrition Dr Greger put it on its daily dozen so, definitely!
Yes I always have Turmeric in my post workout smoothie :) Always a banana, apple, Kale, Spinach, Flax Seeds, Maca Powder, Pine Pollen and sometimes mixed berries, Spirulina and a scoop of protein powder. I don't get anywhere near as sore as I used to before I became vegan and I workout harder now too.
EDIT: Oh and I pre mix Black Pepper with my Turmeric so I don't forget to add it.
Turmeric and Black pepper with my brown rice nearly everyday
Simnett Nutrition Most definitely! We take veggie cap turmeric, but it's so expensive! I have noted every video what you put in your smoothies.
Currently taking a non-gmo vegan high calorie shake post workout, but still want to incorporate unprocessed shakes as well.
Thank you so much for all of your information!!

Thanks a lot
BAM & PARTO how much protein is this smoothie?
With 5 bananas and 3-4 dates, that's a LOT of sugar!!! Don't think that's really good for you.
I add 60g. Pumpkin seeds - 320 cal. & walnuts 28g. 180 cal to boost the caloric content. Been shredding like CRAZY. Plant based is đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„

My 9 year old son and I are vegan and he said that it looks good and super healthy. We are gonna try it this week.
I love that Crystal is standing on the kitchen counter to film this. That's dedication. :) Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Derek! Okay so I was following a couple female vegan channels and trying their different vegan eating methods and man they just weren't working for me. I was contemplating going back to just being a vegetarian because I kept having that dairy craving. I'd eat the fo meats and burgers because I thought," hey protein! I need this as a replacement." And I was on and tried so many protein powders but then I came across your videos and I'm only 4 days into the green smoothie( which I was already having just not scaled up enough) and wow...I FEEL UNSTOPPABLE!! Energy is no longer an ISSUE! I go past dairy in the store while starved and I'm still able to say NO! It's amazing! My taste buds are already changing and I'm craving the whole plant food more than dairy! I've never been a fan of meat really so that's never been the issue but man dairy ruled my life when I was hungry. I didn't understand it at all but after watching some of your videos and just jumping all in? I FEEL GREAT! This works so well with me! Not only that but all day! I've got more energy, I'm consuming more vegetables and fruits and feeling amazing! Thanks so much for everything you put out into the world! You're so inspirational and I truly hope to guide people the way you do someday with my own nutritional practices, rock on!
Amazing! Such a great story. It really is surreal hearing all these positive testimonies. I think your message is great, what you were doing wasn't working for you so you kept digging until you found what worked. So happy to have your support. You can do this too! You just have to start. I had no idea when I first started, trust me. It's a grind. You just have to do it better, more often and for longer than everyone else.
same shit happened to me 3 days of my own variation of this smoothie and i feel the power...workout after burns non existent right now = now i dont think i can go without it
You know I've been searching for vegan meals in high protien and I only got Skinnier. I havent tried the smoothie but I will very soon. Dont you ever stop what you do. You spread out postive vibes the entire video I was smiling. Have a wonderful day!
Just add some milk and it will be even more better đȘ
I had the same problem, and I'm definitely feeling amazing a week into watching Derek's videos and trying out his advice and recipes. A lot of other channels just don't show high enough calorie recipes or big enough portions if you are doing anything other than regular daily activity such as walking to and from an office job type thing. I was dying after my workouts but now I'm feeling really good and actually hitting my calorie goals.
Been Vegan for about 2 months now and I've been seeing/feeling great results! I just graduated, playing college football and I would constantly have bad knee pain whether it be from the workouts or on the field playing. After graduating, I continued working out at an advanced level and the knee pain would not leave. This affected my running, squats (and other leg workouts) never allowing me to train to my fullest potential. After doing my research an religiously following your page I went cold turkey and pursued the vegan route. As of today following this exact smoothie pattern along with my plant base diet, I LITERALLY have NO KNEE PAIN anymore! On occasion I still feel a little pain during long car rides, but I've only been vegan for exactly 1 month and 1 week! (Who's counting though lol)
Sorry for the long post, but I really wanted to let you know you've been such a big help in my journey. I've been taking pictures every week of my progression. After I complete 2-3 months training hard (and gaining weight) in this new life stlye, I too plan on telling my story through CZcams and Instagram following your steps to spread the word of veganism and breaking the stereotype of "You can't be Vegan and get gains!) Thank you again friend.
"What the Health," has literally ruined my life and saved my life- at the same time! haha! Now, to begin this journey of a plant-based diet. Can't wait to try this smoothie.
Ya, same here. I like this channel, but you also gotta check out Pick up Limes on youtube....the best vegan recipes ever!
How did it ruin your life?
Hope you have watched the Game Changers documentary. I went vegan the day after I watched it. Cold turkey đ .
@@sowhat... he doesnât mean ruin he means he canât enjoy good foods anymore
Yaasss! Ever since I started having my green smoothies not only did help with recovery but my skin improved! Thanks for your videos! Keep it up!
Your channel is like a breath of fresh air. Awesome content as usual.
Thanks Akuma
Flax Seeds high in lignans promote Reduction in Testosterone ? ? ?
You both just glow! Pure light, just GORGEOUS!!!!!! i love your energy and ideas... thank you so much!
Your channel has changed the way I look at health and fitness tremendously! Easy and super helpful!
Inspirational dude. Legit one of my favourite vegan/plant-based channels. Love from the UK! đ
This one smoothie is more greens and fruit than I've had in about 9 months. Wow it's time for a change.
A tasty change
Its more than i had in my entire life im serious too i dont eat fruits or vegetablesđ nvr did
@@nou3196 how?! What do you eat?!?
Spartacus Borathian Macdonalds and all that other bullshit probably
haha!
I stumbled across your channel and subscribed on the 2nd video, but 10 videos later this was the one that got the bell! Thank you for sharing your passion of health and fitness with so much authenticity!
Youâre making me smile everytime I am watching your amazing videos. Thank you for being so inspiring! đ
I frikkin love you Derek I am a boxer and I do calisthenics, I train twice a day most days and I've come to realise how important recovery is. Can't wait to try out this smoothie and all the other cool things I find In your videos after I binge watch them.
Dude about to hit 100K subs , this channel has been growing like crazy. Congrats, brother
Derek, I've been watching a few of your videos. Very glad I came across your channel. High quality content, high quality fitness, high quality food, and high quality vibes. Keep rockin' it man. Subscribed!
you absolutely know what you doing big respectđȘđȘđȘ
Video quality is amazing!
Thank you. Still getting used to the new camera, but it's getting better! Thank you.
I always make huge 1000 calorie smoothies after my workouts too! I usually use only 2-3 bannanas but a lot of berries. I love adding steel cut oats to thicken it and add extra calories/gains. Ive been on the flax seed wave for like 2 months now because of you and i am absolutely loving it!!!
Really cool man! Amazing feedback. I love that you made the smoothie work for you. I do these sometimes, maybe I will do a video featuring a less sugary high calorie smoothie and you will know who inspired it!
Derek! Iâve just made this recovery smoothie for the first time with my new nutribullet blender and itâs delicious. I was honestly surprised how nice it was.
Am aching after a good workout and hoping this smoothie helps me recover.
Youâve inspired me soo much recently and Iâve been watching tons of your âwhat I eat in a dayâ videos. They have helped me adopt a much healthier diet and commit to regular exercise. Iâm so grateful for the videos you put out and ideas and inspiration when it comes to vegan meals. Iâm not vegan but itâs certainly helped me stay away from processed foods. Thanks so much and keep doing what youâre doing.
Amazing man! Glad to hear it. Good on yah for taking steps towards better health!
Hey Derek I have to say I am not a vegan but I love your videos and they inspire me to use your recipes into my own meal prep and I have started those fruit smoothies with the turmeric and they are amazing, I feel so reenergized after I drink them. Thank you so much for this information you give to us!
Ä°t is so liberating to see healthy person not afraid of bananas or carbs đđȘđŒ
This is practically my morning breakfast smoothie I have every day! The only difference is I add a whole bunch of cinnamon and sometimes almond milk. I started smoothie breakfasts years ago when I got my braces. Smoothies are a great way to get your greens and when I had braces I couldn't chew so well so sucking them down was easier.
Amazing! You know what's good. Cinnamon is amazing. Pffft, chewing is for chumps!
Made this as my post-shovel smoothie. Totally reinvigorated! Thanks for sharing! đȘđ±
I never thought about adding turmeric for my green juices or protein smoothies until i landed upon your page! Thanks so much for your inspiration and genuine vibe. Keep it up man=)
Can't wait for the e-book!
he already has an e-book đ
Andrea Dunham nice
YOU! are just awesome mate ! :)
Dude you are seriously fn awesome! I love the style of your videos and how you present the information. I don't see how anyone could dislike this stuff. Keep up the good work!
A fan from Tunisia
Derek, next time would you mind showing a shot of the Nutrition Labels? Thanks!
2am here. Watching your video. Very happy with your channel. You put effort into your videos, a your good vibe motivates people.
Keep it up!
Will for sure try that recipe.
Hello from Russia! :)
Sorry for bad english.
I was wondering where you were from with it being 2 am! Your english is great. My Russian is 0, so I'm glad we can communicate. Thanks for recognizing my hard work. Go to sleep!
Derek
You are truly an excellent influence. At 60 I am picking up so much from you, That coucous and frozen peas thing is great. You are great!
I love your enthusiasm and yourenergy!
Definitely lovee the green smoothies :)
You've been following way too long not to be up on this already! Haha.
Simnett Nutrition hell ya nan, im all about the green smoothies hahaha
I prefer the PURPLE SMOOTHIES. I have a pre and post workout smoothie. That includes Beet root, mung beans and blueberries. AWESOME. For recovery, stamina and power.
Great smothie bro, i just only need that Monster Blender ! Blessings!
I love your video! I definitely will try your green smoothie! I love your passion and authenticity. Please keep up the great job. I am so glad I found you.
That's the most beautiful green ever!!! And yes you're so right eating that over a salad easy!
I've tried the smoothie. It is Great! Drank it for lunch and felt awesome, like my eyes where glowing. LOL. Also I had a great training performance. It is part of my diet now. Thank You!!
No problem!
Despite being vegan, I have a hard time with salads so green smoothies really save me! I pack it as full as I can with greens, bananas, strawberries or pineapples, protein powder (vegan), and water/almond milk.
Gotta have a good dressing! But I'm with ya.
Simnett Nutrition true! I should probably just make my own because the processed ones are full of stuff that I don't want to be eating anyways!
Ashley Robinson I never eat salads, I add greens to rice, other veg, my vegan ramen, on a pizza if I make one usually....
Ashley Robinson One of my current favorite dressings is a balsamic Dijon. It's roughly equal parts vinegar, balsamic, and olive oil with salt and pepper.
I don't really use dressings that much so I'm okay with a bit of oil every now and then, but I'm sure it can be made without oil if that suits you. :)
Simnett Nutrition Any advice on vegan protein shakes?
I really hate the taste of pretty much all vegan powders.
My favourite channel! :) You're a huge inspiration!
Was sooooo surprised by this flavour combo!!! LOVE IT!!!! :D
Awesome video! Going to give this smoothie a try. Btw, can you make a video one day about being a nutritionist?
Great! Yes, I can totally do that. Like how I got into it, what I do on the daily, how I started my business?
Simnett Nutrition Yes! Im thinking of becoming a nutrionlist/dietitian after I graduate highschool. So some advice on what made u take that course, how you learned (through online or school) and basically how you started working after your graduated.
I had been hoping for a video like this truthfully! One question I have would be "When looking for a college/university what are some things you should look for in the curriculum that you feel are the most important?"
Yes, what you said simnett nutrition
I found watercress to blow away everything. Juice it, cut with apples and lemon.
I've found it to be a bit spicy. I like to 50:50 it with kale. Two low-oxalate super high nutrient greens :).
One of my new favorite youtubers bro! Keep this up man
Your videos are amazing and really inspiring! IÂŽm vegan for about 7 1/2 years now, but struggled with some health conditions like some strange weakness, loss of concentration, bad mood to depression, anxiety, brain fog and so on. I made the mistake to just eat way too much fats and protein, further more grains (although I felt no specific problem with gluten) and sugars, coffee and alcohol.
Then I was lucky to get the information of the "medical medium" anthony william in my life, and that changed everything! Most of the things he says are similar to what you say. One amazingly helpful thing for your entire body, is to drink 16oz of pure, fresh juiced sellerie about 20min after your water-lemon-drink in the mornig, then wait for another 20-30min before having any other breakfast. Belive me, it will get your health again to a new level!
Thank you for your vids and that important, but decades old protein-lie revelation! Greatings from Essen, Germany
PS: You donÂŽt need any black pepper with your turmeric. This is another lie of the industrie to make their ready-made products (with pepper) cheaper, cause pepper doesnÂŽt cost a fraction of turmeric. Pepper does NOT increase the power of turmeric, but could potentialy irritate your intestinal tract or stomach.
I threw my ground turmeric away after learning that most are lined with lead to make it heavier in shipping. I'm gonna buy fresh and grate it from now on
I always juice mine. Try and get it from the Indian shops as it's sooo much cheaper than the supermarket
Wow
Quick question. I workout after work, would I attempt and consume your smoothie (or similar) and then have a packed dinner as well?
Curious... just become vegan and loving it so wondering how I recover, what I should eat throughout the day etc.
Any help would be great.
Keep up the great work!
First video Iâve seen by you. You seem like such a chill humble guy! You got a new sub here!
I love your energy! Definitely will try it
great video!!! and if you grind or milled flax beforehand it will absorb better to our body. cheers
The Vitamix does that but I'm happy you know about that!
Thanks for the great videos Derek, really inspiring :) One thing I reacted to though. Flax seeds contains hydrogen cyanide which might be dangerous in high amounts. The swedish food administration actually recommends people not to eat ground flax seeds because of limited data on the subject:
www.livsmedelsverket.se/livsmedel-och-innehall/mat-och-dryck/notter-och-froer/linfro
Sry about the swedish text, maybe google translate can help you there :)
Simnett Nutrition which vitamin are you using? I need a good replacement blender to get them silky smooth
I am aware of this from the Swedish government. They said they don't have enough information so you shouldn't eat them. Hydrogen Cyanide is dangerous in high amounts, I doubt the amount we would get from a few tbsp of flax seeds is enough. The health benefits associated with flax seeds should also be taken into account then. They are one of the leading foods for reducing our likelihood of having prostate cancer which is one of men's biggest killers today... not cyanide poisoning from flax. Just my 2 cents though.
Can you make more vegan meals đđœ
I can and will!
I would like to see a video on jasmine rice vs brown rice on nutrition. Thank you for replying đđœ
I'm so happy I found your channel the other day! So much good information and inspiration :-)
Great video! Your enthusiasm is amazing.
Love your channel, I get hyped every time you upload a new video, is this normal? đ€Ł
I hope not! Thanks man, I make them for viewers like you!
Andre Vivian its either everyone gets hyped and its normal or its just me and you and we are weird af
Same
Yes!!!! I love to have a smoothie after a workout!!! Good to know about black pepper, thanks!!!
the last time I watched your videos you didn't have nearly this many subscribers CONGRATS ON ALL THE GROWTH MAN
What was the green plant you picked and ate after your run?
Oh cool! Thanks for asking. It is sea asparagus. It was so salty and made me so thirsty for the rest of the run. Bad move but good footage.
It's called samphire in other parts of the world
Simnett Nutrition salty?
Do
You own any pets because I was worried as you picked your garden and thought... what if some animal or pet took a pee in your garden or bird droppings came down?
I hope
You wash your greens every single time you consume them.
Your a good youtuber your always present which is what I like about you keep up the
Good work!
Hi Derek,
Miles at Healthy Crazy Cool gave you a big shout out so I had to check you out. you've got great info in your posts. I have one (big) question...I HATE bananas and I can't even stand the smell of them. So I miss out on a lot of smoothies etc., because they always have bananas/puree in them. What else can I use in place of them?
Thanks,
Laurent
Hi Laurent!
You can use any other sweet fruit in place of bananas. Mangos and pineapple work well! Berries are a great option too.
Thanks for the comment and for checking my channel out, I appreciate it.
Now Mangos I can do (and Blueberries). Thanks again, Derek.
Try this combination (if you can find all the fruits): mango + pineapple + papaya + 1 guava fruit. Tastes really good, hides all the flavors of vegetables and 1 small guava fruit is packed with a lot more C vitamin than a big orange. That's a plus.
Pumpkin!! Wouldn't sweet potato work too. Obviously the sweet fruits too.
I started calisthenics and jumped on the big smoothie wagon thanks to your videos, feeling great! In addition to turmeric and black pepper, I always add a pinch of cayenne pepper and some fresh ginger root as well as they both seem to help my digestion (I also like the spicy kick to balance the sweetness). Thanks man! Looking forward to every new video of yours! Cheers from Poland!
OMG your videos are amazing!!! So many interesting facts about nutrition and a the best motivation!
best part of the video 4:02
Haha, cheeky little kale bite!
best part of the video 7:20
He's all like "gonna stuff those greeeeens, right inmaface!" :D I laughed hard at that too.
In early and anticipating dat tumeric + black pepper suggestion that I'm sure this will have ;) FYI, to anyone who's feeling iffy on the flavor, Swanson Naturals has some really cheap tumeric + black pepper pills that I've been using until I work myself into using them in shakes! Not spons obviously lol. Snagged them BOGO like a month ago
Very cool! Thanks. Yes, turmeric, black pepper and the taste were all dressed. Yes, if a capsule fits you better do that! Very cool they are putting black pepper in the capsules.. so many companies do some much to make it more bioavailable and all they have to do is add some pepper, lawls.
Just so you know those pills have gelatin
Using turmeric & pepper for months now because of you and loving it!! Thanks man you are awesome!!!
Love your videos dude. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
ItÂŽs good to combine sweet fruit and greens? Thanks in advance!
Yes! Totally fine.
Yes! You can hardly taste the greens.
Do you do any TRT or HRT with a doctor? Just curious!
No answer.
Thank you for sharing!! I've been looking for some ideas on a post run recovery smoothie with greens. I just love your videos.
Very humble guy. Love it
100,000 calorie challenge đđđđŸ
Coming at you! lol
That was hilarious!! đđđ
Are you black?
Okay, Iâm gonna start drinking this shake. I better end up with a banging bod, sexy beard, and an awkward camera angle like you when Iâm finished.
That color! Your garden greens made that smoothie come to life đ± looks delicious :) love how much content you put out and it's always so dense with awesome nutrition info đȘđ»đâ€ïž
Thanks!
I've started putting more greens into my smoothies and meals!! Going to throw some turmeric in too to help with muscle soreness. Thanks so much for these awesome videos and tips!!
why you not use oats for dem calories ? only 1 banana + 50g-100g oats, done?
I think he wants his smoothie to be relatively low in fat while high in calories. The high caloric fruits he mentioned give him the sugars and calories he needs, and he implied that consuming a lot of the fattier protein options like nut butter after a workout make him feel less good and recovered.
Your body only consist of muscles and bright blue eyes ö.ö and beard. You are a truly handsome man.
Yeup, his girlfriend is blessed, but she's adorable aswell, i love Crystals lips and the way her mouth is shaped, she's very beautiful.
I'm one of those that started drinking smoothies because of your videos. I had a preconception that health drinks are horrible tasting, but your recipe changed that. Thanks for making awesome videos!
Man I love the energy!!
Thanks for doing this shirtless đ€©
Flaxseed is highly estogenic.
Adding leafy greens bring smoothies to a whole new levelđŻ
i love this channel. ima give all of this vegan thingy a try! you look so refreshed and alive in all of your videos, there must be something about it! :)
+ nice tutorial on a great recovery smoothie!
Smoothies are the devil in disguise...
Smoothies get me hungry and it's honestly just better to eat whole full foods to stay shredded
I tried this just now and oh my goodness it tastes delicious. I did two bananas though. Too sweet with all the additional bananas but it tastes delicious!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Looks delicious. Thank you for all of your insight.
Awesome video and informative! Love your energy!!! Canât wait to try it!!! YUM! đ
Omg!! Garden goals. I am new to your channel and now I have to go watch all your past videos to find the details on your garden.
Thanks Tracy!
Awesome video. Iâll be following along from here on out. Great energy and great attitude!
You are an inspiration! Keep up the great vidz!
I've been following your channel for a few weeks, and I love your videos! I finally just made your green smoothie after a run, and WOW it's YUMMY! I used 2 bananas, 3 dates, a bunch of arugula, turmeric, black pepper, and chia seeds. I am not fully vegan, but I appreciate all of the recipes to integrate more whole foods into my diet.
Incredible! You never disappoint! Can't wait to try this exact smoothie out.
Thanks
This looks awesome, will definitely give it a try. Thanks man!
Love your smoothies and the addition of turmeric and black pepper. Going to add the tumeric and pepper tonight to try it. Been adding tumeric and pepper to most of my soups, oven fries, and even on baked tofu. It gives a beautiful golden color that enhances presentation of baked foods. Started doing this after seeing your videos on this dynamic duo. Thank you for your upbeat and fun videos! And all the great info! I'm 65 and love your channel! I've also saved a bunch of your recipes that my family loves too!
I can't wait to try this! Thank you for the informative video. I usually do a plant based protein shake but doesn't seem like enough.
This video is two years old but I still love it and your smoothie is the best!!! â€ïž
Thanks for explaining thoroughly it educates a lot
Drunk this as my first vegan smoothie. It is quite tasty. Didnt have vanilla so I put cinnamon and it was nice! Thanks
I shall be making this very soon. Looks great. Thank you
killing it, awesome food tips mate!
