Nutrition is just as, if not more important, than all the hours you put in the gym. The best way to recover quickly and get the most out of your workout is to take care of your body by feeding it quality foods. You need that protein to rebuild those muscles, and good carbohydrates to refuel you to keep going on with your day. I do believe that you are what you eat! With that said, here is my recipe for an awesome recovery smoothie!

Combine in a blender:
1/4 c nonfat greek yogurt
1 c cold water
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 c of your favorite frozen fruit (I love pineapple, strawberries, or blueberries)
2 scoops of Complete Greens powder (it tastes like an orange creamsicle and has several servings of vegetables in just two teeny tiny scoops! Buy here: http://bit.ly/1nbcCiC)

Blend all the ingredients together.
THEN add 1 scoop of protein powder (I recommend vanilla, I use this deliciousness: http://bit.ly/1a6u5kc), and blend. Make sure you wait to add your protein powder until AFTER blending this all together. It really comes together perfectly if you add it at the very end. Trust me! 🙂 Then, drink up!!

Complete Greens is a sneaky way to fit the nutrients in green vegetables, as well as probiotics and natural enzymes into your daily diet. Here’s where to buy: shop.com/sanusiglobal.

Happy sweating!
