This nutrient-packed smoothie is high in protein & easy to digest carbs, but low in fat to support quick re-fuelling and recovery after hard workouts

Ingredients
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

1/4 cup frozen cranberries
2 dates or dried figs
Handful spinach (optional)

*You can change up the flavours however you like, but remember the basic principles of a good post-workout meal: high in protein + carb, minimal fat.

  • Vanilla protein powder provides both flavour and protein to help repair your muscles.
  • Banana and dates provide easily digestible carbs to help replenish glycogen stores, while the berries provide antioxidant power.
