A Rich Recovery

Ever have such an intense workout that your muscles shake? I mean really shake; you just held a pose for your longest time or finished the fastest race and now your muscles are still firing long after completion? Those muscles are depleted and following such exertion your body needs a quick fix. No, a bowl of ice cream or slice of pizza is not what it needs. Instead, a quick, natural sugar and hydrating mix will calm those twitching muscles and give your mind and body the energy it needs to get through the day. Follow the super simple, maximally refreshing recipe below for the ultimate post workout smoothie! Hope you enjoy!
