At BASC, we believe proper fuel for the body is a critical ingredient to success. At times, it may come in the form of a burger and fries, however, we want to highlight a quick, easy, team favorite go-to. The Smoothie. Though it may not sound revolutionary, smoothies are a great way to obtain much-needed nutrients and protein that juicing can leave behind.
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie
A staff pick right off the bat, we’ve taken a childhood classic and turned it into a delectable beverage, enjoyed by children and adults alike. For this smoothie you’ll need:
- A handful of frozen strawberries
- fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 scoop of PB Fit Protein Powder
- A splash of Trader Joes Lavender Blueberry Almond Milk
- A handful of the granola of your choosing

3. For the CoCo Loko Smoothie
All of the creamy chocolate flavor, none of the guilt. This smoothie is a staple within the BASC office. What started out as inspiration from a desperate Uber Eats order, we have made our own amendments to the recipe to create this one-of-a-kind beverage. You’ll need:

- Cacao Nibs

- Top with some sea salt
4. Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
It tastes like summer in a cup? If you need more convincing than that, you’ll have to try this smoothie for yourself and let the flavors do the talking. Easy and Delicious you’ll need:
- A dash of Lemonade
- Trader Joes Lemon Yogurt
- A handful of frozen strawberries

5. The Smoothie Bowl
One might think a blender is crucial to make a smoothie. However, the smoothie bowl is here to tell you otherwise. Simple and aesthetically pleasing, this is a recipe crowdsourced from friends of BASC and is sure to provide you with the energy you need to tackle the day. You’ll need:
- A Greek Yogurt base (or yogurt of your choosing)
- Kiwi
- Granola of your choosing
- Blueberries
- Coconut shavings
Though these are just a few favorites from the BASC team, we wanted to share some of our quickest and tastiest favorites. The wonderful thing about smoothies is their customizability. Proportions and ingredients can be doled out or withheld per your liking. Additions such as flax seeds, chia seeds, berries and fruits of all sorts, and veggies!
We are anxiously awaiting the official BASC 2020 dates to be finalized, however, in the meantime check out our blog post on Ways to Stay Limber at Home!
