What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see Tom Brady playing football and winning Super Bowls? For most people, it’s awe at how this player is so fit even in his 40s!
Many people wonder what’s the secret behind Brady’s fitness. How does he stay so active and play such a beautiful game at an age where most players retire? Well, you would be surprised to know that it isn’t something super expensive or rare. Instead, it’s a simple smoothie recipe that Brady drinks regularly.
What ingredients go in Brady’s smoothie
To prepare Brady’s special smoothie, you’ll need half a cup of almond milk, half a cup of hemp milk, a teaspoon of chia seeds, a teaspoon full of hemp seeds, one-fourth cup of chopped walnuts, a tablespoon of almond butter, two tablespoons of TB12 protein powder, a cup of frozen blueberries, and last but not least, half a cup of frozen banana. Throw these ingredients in a blender, and voilà; your smoothie is ready!
Is this smoothie healthy?
TBH, it’s super healthy, and why not? After all, it’s Tom Brady’s recipe, right?!
Every time Brady drinks this smoothie, he gives his body 664 calories, 54g carbs (13g fiber), 36g fat, and 40g protein. Now, if you’ve read the Dietary Reference Intake report for macronutrients, you would know that an average sedentary man should consume 0.36 grams of protein per pound. That is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of their body weight; so you see, Brady is hitting the baseline here. Plus, getting 13g of fiber on a regular basis is not a joke.
Our gut needs 10g fiber to carry out the digestive procedure hassle-free, and if you’re giving it 13g, it’s better, don’t you think? Keeping these aside, when you’re adding almond butter, walnuts, chia, and hemp, you’re promoting muscle build-up and heart functioning. Overall you’re giving yourself a punch of nutrients, and that, my friends, would help you a long way.
Does the smoothie taste bland?
After seeing almond milk, hemp milk, chia, and hemp seeds you might feel like this smoothy will definitely be bland. After all, both kinds of milk are tasteless. But surprisingly it’s not! The smoothie is yummy and you can easily drink it one go (just saying; don’t do it or else you might choke!). Moreover, since it has a hint of blueberries (which are tangy), and a cup of banana (that’s sweet), it tastes unique in its own way.
