Nikki Sharp is one of our favorite health coaches and wellness experts, so when she offered to share three of her go-to energy-boosting smoothies, we said, “Yes, please!” Try incorporating one or all of these smoothies into your routine for an automatic, whole foods–based energy boost.

Dreamin' of Strawberries 'n' Cream

Strawberry milkshake, anyone? Only this version is filled with protein, naturally sweet strawberries, and detoxifying beets.

Ingredients

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 large scoop ALOHA vanilla protein powder
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 small beet, peeled
Pinch of salt (optional)

Preparation

Blend with ice. To make it sweeter, add a few dates (optional).

(Chocolate) Pick-Me-Up

We love the idea of whipping this up after an early morning workout—carbs from the banana, protein from ALOHA chocolate protein powder, and healthy fats from organic peanut butter make this the ideal recovery smoothie. Plus, the shot of espresso will help keep those good post-workout vibes going until lunchtime.

Ingredients

1 very ripe banana
1 tablespoon organic peanut butter
2 scoops ALOHA chocolate protein powder
1 shot espresso
2 dates

Preparation

Blend with ice.

Sharp's SOS Smoothie
