There are many excellent options of recovery smoothies for athletes, but here is my latest fave:
Dr. Logan's Recovery smoothie (2 servings)
● 1 cup cold water
● ½ cup frozen peaches (can sub a berry instead)
● 1 banana
● 1 cup spinach (could substitute kale)
● 1 cooked/peeled beet (I buy them at Trader Joe's - pre packaged)
● ½ tsp raw cacao
● 1 scoop whey protein (20-30g protein) - I prefer Jocko banana
● 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
Place all ingredients in a blender & mix. This blender is perfect for work (it is what I have at my office).
Enjoy!
