A deliciously creamy non-fat Tropical Protein Fruit Smoothie to get your body recharged with nutrients after a workout.
One of the best things you can do for your body after a work out is to pump it up with a healthy balance of protein and sugar. When muscles break down, they need the protein to rebuild and grow. And natural sugar such as those in this Post-Workout Protein Fruit Smoothie replenishes some of the nutrients you sweat out.
After having a baby, the extra love does not seem to shed off my love handles quite as easily anymore. And having a focus of hard weight training doesn't interest me in the least bit. I have been really into Hot Yoga as a change in my fitness routine. I crave the peaceful rejuvenation that a hard heated yoga practice brings with fast flowing movements and a focus on deep breathing. It is calming, healing and empowering. It is slowly starting to help me get back into shape. I have only been doing it for about a month, but I feel almost as strong as when I completed a 90 day P90X training 4 years ago (before kids)! This is my tropical go-to smoothie after my yoga classes - consumed within an hour after a workout for maximum nutrient absorption.
