No Milk (or Guilt) Strawberry Milkshake

Like so many of my bodybuilding brethren who follow a low-cal diet, when it comes to food, I definitely prefer to eat my calories rather than drink 'em!

That being said, when I’m pressed for time or rushing to get my ass into the gym, my "go-to" pre-workout meal is almost always this high protein smoothie that tastes just like a strawberry milkshake.

Yes, my vegan strawberry milkshake brings ALL the gym bros to the yard. ;)

I like that it's a protein smoothie offering a healthy dose of starchy complex carbs to help fuel a good workout.  It contains good ol' oats!  And oats are what also provide that smooth & creamy milkshake consistency we all know and love. 

And of course, we love the macros.  Check it:
