Recovery Smoothie with a Kick
Getting back into the training game! No rest for the weary! Went out for an easy run today with my pup and afterwards needed a little pick-me up. So I whipped out the blender and made one of my favorite recovery smoothies. I call this one the Mocha Wild Berry smoothie! It's really simple to make all you need is: 1-2 cups cold coffee 1 1/2 cups chocolate milk (or almond milk) 1 1/2 cups mixed frozen berries (black berries, raspberries, strawberries, and blue berries) 1 heaping scoop chocolate protein powder I'm a big fan of coffee so you can go heavy on the java if you really need a boost, or ease back and add more chocolate milk. I'll make my coffee in the morning, and save a little extra and stick it in the fridge just for this smoothie. I like using the mixed berries b/c it really gives it a unique "wild berry" flavor! Of course, if you can't find a frozen berry medley... go for some frozen blackberries and blueberries. ...
