Smoothies can be a great way to start the day,but they can also be They're also great recovery drinks pre- and post-workout.
My current post-workout smoothie is a Chocolate Banana smoothie:
1c goat milk
1T cacao powder
1 banana
1t honey
I once read an article that chocolate milk was the best recovery drink after working out. The article suggested that drinking an 8oz glass before your workout gives you the carbs and protein needed to power through your workout. It goes on to say that drinking an 8oz glass after your workout provides the rest of the protein needed to repair your muscles. The article said that you would feel less sore if you followed this method. And you know what? It was right. After trying this method, I went from being so sore I could move after a workout to being barely sore, if at all, the day after.
