Post-Workout Smoothie

Post-workout smoothies help us recover, repair and renew our muscle tissues after a hard weight-bearing session. My post-workout smoothie recipe features just three ingredients: protein powder, water and frozen berries (a banana works too). Refueling with my smoothie recipe will help you replace lost glycogen stores back into your muscles so that muscle protein synthesis can start again.

Serves 1

Ingredients

• 6-8 oz., water only

• 1 serving protein powder of choice

• A handful of frozen berries (low-glycemic) or banana (for those not on a weight loss plan)

Directions

• Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender.

• Blend on high for 1 minute or until smooth.
