Callie Gullickson's Go-To Workout Smoothie

Wondering how Callie Gullickson gets her energy for her workouts? Luckily, she’s shared one of her secrets: her go-to workout smoothie. 

“I make this about three to four times a week. It’s perfect for a hydrating snack, a post-workout boost, or even a late night dessert,” says Gullickson. We love it for its easy-to-find, limited ingredients and delicious berry and nut-butter flavor. Read below for some of the health benefits of the ingredients in Callie’s smoothie.

Blueberries
These small fruits are mighty in antioxidants, may lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and prevent constipation due to their high fiber content.

Raspberries
Similarly to blueberries, raspberries are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C. They may also help prevent diabetes and sharpen your memory.

Blackberries
High in Manganese and Vitamin K, blackberries may help support brain health as well as oral health.

Spinach
This leafy green contains 300% of your daily value for Vitamin K, plus it’s high in folate, Vitamin A, & Vitamin C.

Almond Butter
Delicious, creamy, and good for you, too — Almond butter is rich in Vitamin E, monounsaturated fats that help lower LDL cholesterol, and omega-3 fatty acids.
