Holidays are over and it’s time to get your body back on track with your exercise routine. Replenish your active muscles with these 3 healthy and tasty smoothies.
PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
Some researchers claim that protein-rich foods containing amino acids may speed muscle recovery. This delicious smoothie is great after a workout at the gym:
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Manuka Honey
- Mix ingredients in a blender until smooth
INVIGORATING JUICE SMOOTHIE
Research from the U.K. suggests that antioxidant-rich fruits such as cherries, berries, and grapes may help relieve muscle soreness. Add a little Manuka Honey for anti-inflammatory and probiotic value. Try this smoothie after a long endurance workout such as a bike ride:
- 3/4 cup tart cherry (or pomegranate juice)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Concord grape juice
- 3/4 cup water
- A little Manuka Honey
- Combine ingredients in a blender. Add ice and a little Manuka Honey to taste
BUSY BEE SMOOTHIE
Manuka Honey does double duty after a workout. It may help athletes who use energy in short, intense bursts to maintain optimal blood sugar levels. It also may help in muscle recovery post-training.
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Manuka Honey +5
- A little ice
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth
