We’ve found sometimes the best way to get all the nutrients you need is to put them all into one smoothie.
Remember when you’re a normal human being, you need a certain amount of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and so on to help your body work at an optimal level.
But athletes put their bodies through so much more than that, and we need to make sure we’re replenishing all those things that get depleted in our training. So a great start is to make a go-to smoothie thats full of some of those extra nutrients you need.

Here’s a couple of smoothies we love, and feel great after having;

Pre Training Energy Booster

  • 1 Banana
    1 Tblspn chia seeds
    1 Teaspoon Goji Berries
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
    1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
    1 Teaspoon Honey (or add to taste)
    1 Cup Almond Milk (or alternative)
    1-2 Tablespoons Psyllium Husks or Wheat Germ
    (If you’re feeling adventurous you could try a little ginger)

After Training Replenish

  • 1 Tablespoon Cacao Powder
    1/2 Cup Berries
    1 Cup Almond Milk (or alternative)
    1 Serve of protein powder
    (Feel free to add any other high antioxidant fruits or veg to it that you want to try)

Now, remember that all of our bodies are different.

So while these are some of our favourites, feel free to experiment and see what your body needs. This might be exactly what you need, or you may need to change around a few ingredients… I personally love to experiment until i find that perfect combo, so play around & see what you can come up with. We’d love to hear of some yummy combo’s you’ve created.
Happy Blending!
