Gonna keep this short. Real short. Just gonna deliver the goods and get outta here! #smoothiedealer
Last night I wrote a post called “What’s The Best Food To Eat After A Workout?”
The main finding was that it’s a good idea to eat carbs with protein after a workout. You can read the post to find out why. I ain’t no glycogen muscle expert. But this smoothie’s got both. What what!
I created this Blueberry Cobbler post-workout smoothie based on the results of that post. Ok, ok, ok, I did steal the name of the smoothie from the Barry’s Bootcamp smoothie bar. And the inspiration for the recipe. I changed it though (I removed bananas, and used almond butter instead of peanut butter, and added a pinch of sea salt).
So here you go! You can use whatever protein powder you want but I really like this one. Using 2 scoops of it will give you about 21g post-workout protein. There are only about 10g carbs in 1/2 a cup of blueberries (and 4g carbs in the whey protein) so if you want more carbs after your workout you can double up on the berries!
Blueberry Cobbler Post-Workout Smoothie
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 scoops Tera’s Whey vanilla bourbon grass-fed whey protein
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- small pinch sea salt
Blend and drink! SO GOOD!

Hey Jenny ~ I love seeing new posts from you daily! & um, blueberry cobbler smoothie? Yes, please! (& thank you) :)
I don’t know if you’re looking for blog topics, but I would love to hear your take on keeping a healthy routine/schedule & being productive while being self-employed and working “remotely” without external motivation.
Many years ago, I worked from home and couldn’t quite get the hang of establishing a healthy routine, it left me very depressed and instilled a fear that I could never attempt to do it again. I would definitely benefit from hearing others perspective either here or in a blog! Your input is greatly appreciated!

Hey Vanessa! Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it. I’ll definitely write a blog about that! It’s difficult and my most treasured tip in that arena is to have a great support system. I don’t know what I’d do without my entrepreneurial friends to check in with, and going to conferences where other entrepreneurs hang out. It’s absolutely crucial.
Vanessa says
Makes so much sense. Can’t wait to read your blog post about it! <3

Hey Jenny. This smoothie looks great :) I want to try it but I avoid dairy most of the time. I have never touched whey protein but this brand looks okay because it’s grassfed. Curious- do you digest it well? I’ve tried plant based protein powders and they either taste bad or have weird additives.
Thanks!

Hi hello! This looks delish. Have you ever tried gelatin? I just bought some some Great Lakes brand beef gelatin on amazon (grassfed cows and I think organic!) and started adding that to my smoothies instead of protein powder. 11g protein in a tablespoon! It doesn’t really have a taste but it does thicken up any smoothie so I add extra water or almond milk.

Yes! Just wrote a blog on it the other day. It rules! https://healthycrush.com/benefits-of-collagen-powder/

I do fine with whey protein most of the time! They also have a really good goat’s whey protein, you may do better with that one!

I see on amazon there is a tears whey with no “rBGH” and one with it…do you know what the means and which would be a better choice?
jenny sansouci says
It’s a growth hormone. :( Buy the one without it!! <3
Erin Baker says
The one you have linked aboard doesn’t specifically say that. When I looked around further I saw one that specified “no rbgh”, does the vanilla bourbon one you linked above contain that hormone then? Just want to make sure I buy the best :)
jenny sansouci says
Hi! Yes, I just checked the FAQ on their site and all of the organic products are also r-BGH free. :)
Q: Are your organic products also rBGH free?
A: Yes. All of our organic products are rBGH-free, which means that cows are not injected with artificial hormones.

Hands down, my now favorite smoothie – this tastes amazing. Found this recipe on your site a few weeks ago and now, I can’t keep blueberries in the house because I am inhaling them via daily smoothies of this recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
jenny sansouci says
Awesome!!! So glad you like it!

Ummmmm…. why did it take me so long to try this? I saved it a few weeks ago but just had it after my cardio class… I actually said “sweet Jesus” out loud – it was THAT good. I can’t wait to make this again (probably this afternoon :) Love your blog!!!
