Post-Workout Smoothie for Fitness Rangers
Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 scoop Hemp protein powder
1 tbsp Sunflower seeds
3/4 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
1/2 cup Frozen berries
1 cup Frozen spinach
1/2 tsp Maca powder (optional - an adaptogen that can help athletes recover more quickly)

Instructions


Mix everything into a high-powered blender and enjoy.


Note that instead of using “whey protein” which isn't even a REAL food and the source of which is often unknown, opt for the nutritious and wholesomeness of hemp protein. Sunflower seeds also provide a protein boost here (seeds are often a better way to go to get more nutrients for less fat and calories). Preferably, make your own almond milk - it's easy, here's how: https://www.mealgarden.com/social/article/stop-wasting-your-money-on-store-bought-preservati/, but if you're short on time, an organic almond milk with no added sweeteners will work just fine. Berries add some sweetness but are still low on the GI scale. Spinach is alkalizing and will pack another protein punch. If you want to really up your game - add some maca powder, which contains easily digestible high quality protein, small amounts of essential fats, and minerals such as zinc, calcium and magnesium, all of which have been shown to improve performance and reduce recovery time when taken before, during and/or after a workout.
