Post work out Smoothie to jump start recovery & to restore

Post workout smoothie ! 


Smoothies are an excellent go-to food to replenish the body after a tough workout. 

High in protein and healthy fat (use a natural peanut butter, that contains no additives) this hunger curbing recipe makes for a hearty breakfast, lunch, or after-workout boost.





If you are dairy free just swap out the milk and yoghurt for a non dairy alternative. Try other nut butters such as cashew butter (my favorite). You can add ice, to make a cooler, thicker smoothie. 

Nourish Perks
Banana - adds additional fiber, as well as potassium, manganese, and vitamin B6
Yogurt - adds probiotics, which promotes healthy digestion because of the flora that it encourages in the digestive track and provides calcium and extra protein.
Cinnamon - helps control blood sugar and stimulates brain activity
Honey -  high in antioxidants and immune boosting compounds
Peanut butter - Vitamin E, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Copper, Manganese. There’s also a decent amount of Vitamin B5, Iron, Potassium, Zinc and Selenium in peanut butter.
