Several athlete have their very own personalized smoothie recipe which helps kickstart every day of their intense lifestyles, but they also can help a mean person get their very own filling of vitamins, fiber, and protein within the morning. 

Brady’s lactose-free smoothie recipe accommodates 34 grams of protein and many blueberries for anti-oxidants, which has helped him reduce inflammation and avoid injury as he continues to play at an NFL MVP level at 44 years of age. 

Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal’s smoothie recipe was much like Brady’s, but contained fewer ingredients and was lighter on protein, as he only uses blueberries, bananas and peanut butter. O’Neal doesn’t depend upon his smoothie to headline an pro-athlete’s lifestyle anymore, but simply to shed some pounds and stay in shape as he approaches 50. 

Eckeler’s smoothie is a little bit of a wild card, because the 26-year-old running back features a large dose of raw eggs. Eckeler uses his smoothie to construct muscle and help him maintain the title of the NFL’s strongest running back.
