A Smoothie for Every Workout!
By Katrina Scott onYou can never go wrong with a Nutrition Plan approved protein-packed smoothie after sweat sesh! But if you're looking to fine tune your post-workout fuel and complement your workout, keep reading!
Every workout targets different types of muscles and various energy systems your body uses. For example, HIIT and toning use anaerobic energy pathways, build lean muscle, and burn calories during AND after you've finished working out! On the other hand, yoga and endurance training use aerobic energy pathways, increase lung capacity and improve heart health. All activities have incredible benefits and are essential to a healthy lifestyle! And because each are so different, you can fuel up to maximize those amazing results!
Today, we're showing you exactly what nutrients to include after each workout in the 3 smoothie blends below!
CARDIO REVIVER SMOOTHIE
After a long run, bike ride, swim, or walk, it's important to restore glycogen levels and stimulate muscle recovery. The best way to do this is by giving your body a 4 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein within 30 minutes of your workout! Crush your cardio, then drink this smoothie featuring our organic, non-GMO Perfect Fit Protein! #yumalert
