Smoothies for Recovery

 

I'm often talking about my post-class smoothie, and now that the weather is getting a little warmer, hydration and nutrition will be more important than ever. You guys loved the smoothies recipes sent out a month or so ago, so, as we head towards higher temperatures, I'm sharing some of my refreshing warm weather favourites. 

 

My post-class smoothie keeps my energy up & speeds my recovery. As most of you know, for me, the sooner I get it into me post class, the better - within 30 minutes is ideal.

 

Remember to make these your own - use whatever milk works for you, add a scoop of protein powder or ice, substitute fruits. The fun of smoothies is they are simple and you can use what you have on hand. In fact, never throw fruit away. If you have fruits that are getting a little soft or going off, pop it in a container and freeze it to use in smoothies later on. It reduces food waste & ensure you're using the fruit you buy.

 

Enjoy the smoothies and hope to see you on the bike this week!
