There’s something special about the quiet of an early tee time—dewy greens, fresh air, and a full round ahead. But let’s be honest: the early morning hustle doesn’t always leave time for a full sit-down breakfast. That’s where the Early Tee Smoothie comes in—quick to make, easy to take, and packed with the nutrients you need to feel strong from your first swing to the 18th hole.
This smoothie is light yet satisfying, with potassium-rich bananas, fiber-packed spinach, and a scoop of your favorite protein powder to keep you full and focused. A drizzle of honey adds just the right touch of sweetness, while milk and ice keep it cold and creamy.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- ½ cup ice
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or a few dates for natural sweetness
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a shaker bottle or glass and enjoy chilled.
Why It Works for Golfers:
- Banana: Natural source of quick-digesting carbs and potassium, which help maintain energy levels and prevent muscle cramps during long rounds.
- Spinach: Rich in magnesium and iron, which support muscle function and oxygen delivery—especially useful for walking 18 holes.
- Protein: Helps repair and maintain muscles. Adding it makes this smoothie a solid recovery drink or a satiating pre-round meal.
- Matcha: Offers a smooth, sustained caffeine boost without the jitters or crash—perfect for maintaining focus and mental clarity on the course.
- Hydration & Nutrients: The combo of fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients keeps you energized and balanced, especially in hot or humid conditions.
