After a recent thought provoking conversation with James about smoothies and such. I got to thinking, made this one today after a hard tempo run. Tastes great and is easily absorbed as well as aids in recovery!
6-8 oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 Large Banana-frozen works best
1 T organic Cocoa Powder
2 small handfuls of fresh Organic Kale
1 T Almond Butter or any preferred nut butter
5g L-Glutamine
10 g Whey Protein , I use a vanilla flavored Gluten free whey as well as lactose free
*Ice if not using a frozen banana
Put all into a blend EXCEPT whey, and blend to a smooth consistency, then add the whey and blend for a few seconds until mixed it but no longer.
Other items that one can add:
1-2 T of Maca Root
Chia seeds
Omega 3 oil
Coconut water in place of milk
one of my fav's a starbucks via instant coffee-very easy and simple but adds amazing flavor and a kick of caffeine!
If you have milk or dairy issue, may want to try hemp or brown rice protein.
If anyone has their favorite recovery smoothie or ingredient suggestions feel free too add it in the comments!
