This smoothie bowl was a near daily staple for me as I attempted to follow the 10-day fat-loading protocol last month in prep for my Seawheeze half marathon. In fact I enjoyed it so much I now incorporate it into my weekly nutrition plan! I must add, the fat-loading totally worked – although initially skeptical, I ended up running my strongest and fastest half-marathon ever! Fat-loading is definitely something I’ll now be doing before any future half and full marathons.
Makes 1 serving.
