The Power of the Smoothie!
The Power of the Smoothie!
Embrace the power of the smoothie! Smoothies, (if made healthy, of course…we’re not talking about milkshakes here!) work as a rich source of nutrients, a rev of energy, and just enough of a tummy fill to go that extra few minutes at the gym – to run faster and train harder. They are also an amazing source of repair for your muscles after a hard workout, allowing your body to recover with more strength and therefore accelerating your fitness regime with the added health kick it gives your body.
Here are three recipes that I love! Delicious and nutritious!
Berry Blast Smoothie
