Blueberry Bliss High Protein Smoothie

2024-06-27T18:21:34-04:00By Tom Venuto|Recipes|

The blueberry bliss protein smoothie made the top 20 member favorite recipes ranking recently. That's surprising, considering all the other flavors we have: chocolate peanut butter, strawberry slush, and many more in the Meal Planning software.

Back then I also recommended cardio on an empty stomach to my training clients for burning more fat. Today the research is clear: Fasted cardio works, but it doesn't work better than fed cardio.
