Recovery Smoothie


The Ultimate recovery drink has a perfect ratio of Carbohydrates to Proteins. It also contains key vitamins and minerals to help your body recovery and rebuild from hard efforts.

This recipe is great after long runs, hard bike rides or any other activity your out there doing. It only takes a few minutes and tastes awesome!


What you need:
1/2 banana
1 Cup dark berries (frozen cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or Strawberries) I like a comb of blueberries and cherries because I always have them stashed in my freezer, but whatever you have access to is great. 
6oz plain yogurt
3/4 cup Soy Milk
1 TBL almond Butter
2 TBL wheat Germ
1 TBL honey *optional


Blend together and enjoy! Makes 2 servings!



This recipe combines protein from the yogurt, soy milk and almond butter with carbohydrates in the fruit, healthy fats from the almond butter. It also has crucial vitamins and minerals like vitamin E and zinc from the wheat germ, and pro-biotic in the yogurt to keep your immune system kicking.
