This testosterone smoothie can help support healthy testosterone levels as part of an energy boosting pro metabolic diet. It supports a healthy metabolism as well as hormonal health in general. This testosterone boosting smoothie contains highly bio-available nutrients such as the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, pro-metabolic minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, easy-to-digest carbohydrates, and high-quality protein
3 Egg Yolks (raw)
Goat Milk (semi-skimmed) 300 ml
0% Fat Skyr/Greek Yogurt 100g (no gums, artificial sweeteners, or anything else)
Honey 30g
Collagen Protein Powder 15g
1 x medium Banana 125g
Mixed Frozen Berries 200g
Taurine 3g
Creatine Monohydrate 5-10g
100% Cocoa Powder (optional)
Simply throw all the ingredients in a blender, and blend well. You can use this as a complete meal replacement as well as a post-workout shake.
If you are counting your macros, the macronutrient breakdown for this testosterone boosting smoothie is:
Protein 42g
Carbohydrates 85g
Fat 19g
As you can see the carbohydrate grams are double the protein grams which is beneficial for testosterone, and we also have a decent amount of saturated and mono-unsaturated fat which is positively correlated with healthy testosterone levels and hormonal health. The protein sources contain a nice mix of the amino acids leucine from the dairy (important for muscle growth) and the pro metabolic anti-stress amino acids, glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline from the collagen.
You can easily adjust the macronutrient numbers for this testosterone smoothie by adjusting the amount of ingredients you use, to fit with your current macronutrient targets. Carbohydrates can be adjusted by using more or less honey as well as the size of the banana. Fat can be adjusted by using fewer egg yolks, or more if needed, or by using full-fat milk. Protein can be adjusted by using more or less yogurt as well as collagen powder. You can also use whey/casein protein powder instead of yogurt.
To maximise the effectiveness of the Testo shake, I would recommend using the highest quality ingredients you can use or have access to. High-quality pasture-raised egg yolks are a must, as we do not want to consume egg yolks from commercially raised chickens fed on foods that contain high amounts of polyunsaturated fats. A good quality egg should have a dark yellow or even orange yolk. Try to source locally if possible.
Commercially bought milk is fine to use, although I would always choose organic if possible. I use goat milk as it is A2 milk, which is generally easier to digest compared to cow’s milk. If you can get hold of raw unhomogenized milk this would be the best option, however, this is not possible for most people. In the UK some supermarkets sell unhomogenized milk, although it is still pasteurised. If you prefer cow’s milk, Guernsey and Jersey milk usually have a greater proportion of A2 protein compared to A1, which can be beneficial for some people.
If you can get hold of some local raw honey this would be a great option. Choose the highest quality collagen protein you can afford, grass-fed and organic is best, although this can be fairly expensive. For a cheaper option, you could use the amino acid glycine, instead of collagen powder. Glycine is one of the pro-metabolic and anti-stress amino acids found in collagen. I recommend using organic fruit.
To increase testosterone levels and maintain healthy testosterone production requires a complete lifestyle approach. Applying the fundamentals and mastering the basics is the most important thing, as well as being consistent over time. Using the Testo shake in isolation without addressing important lifestyle factors will not support healthy testosterone levels to any large degree.
The fundamentals of natural testosterone optimization include:
Eating a nutrient-dense whole foods-based diet which includes all three macronutrients.
Fixing nutritional deficiencies.
Avoiding low-calorie and low carbohydrate diets.
Eating adequate saturated and monounsaturated fats.
Not over consuming protein.
Improving gut health.
Performing strength training to build and/or maintain muscle.
Not overtraining.
Not performing excessive amounts of cardio.
Mitigating Stress.
Getting enough good quality sleep.
Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage (lean but not ripped year round).
Walking more.
Getting adequate sunlight.
Increasing dopamine levels.
The Testo Shake is a healthy testosterone boosting smoothie that can help support natural testosterone optimization. For the best results, it should be used to complement a healthy diet and lifestyle optimized for healthy testosterone levels as well as hormonal health in general. You can also experiment with your own testosterone smoothie by adding to the base ingredients. Give it a try today!
