Tweak as you must…we don’t judge:
? 1 whole banana
? 1/2 packet of frozen açaí (frozen raspberries or blueberries rock too)
6oz almond milk, ripple, or reg milk
? 1 scoop of plain protein powder (Naked Whey)
2 tbsp peanut or almond butter
Dash of cinnamon
? Blend until pulverized
The protein in this smoothie recipe helps aid in post-workout recovery, but the benefits don’t stop there!
Berries are loaded with antioxidants, plus, they contain a ton of fiber, which aids in digestion.
Beyond the berry, bananas are full of magnesium, a key ingredient in preventing muscle soreness. They’re full of potassium too, another key to aiding muscle recovery. The fruit is also full of folate, which helps serotonin enter the brain faster.
Cinnamon, if you didn’t know, is a spice made from the inner bark of trees known as Cinnamomum. Cinnamon, like açaí, is loaded with antioxidants. It also helps reduce the risk of heart disease because it lowers “bad” cholesterol levels (LDL) and increases the “good” (HDL). Try it in your coffee…and feel like you’re on vacation…OK, it’s not that great, but it does add lovely flavor.
Enjoy!
