Pair one of these three frozen treats with your next run or workout.
Smoothies can be a healthy and tasty way to supplement nutrition for runners. A few fresh and frozen ingredients into the blender and chef’s kiss, you have yourself a nutrient-packed snacked perfect for before, during, or after your run.
Smoothies are great for runners (or anyone on the go) because they are easily customizable. This is important because nutrition is highly individualized.
Starla Garcia from the Brooks Run Happy Team is a dietician, Olympic Trials marathoner, and a body and cultural diversity advocate. She shared three super simple smoothie recipes that you can make at home.
Want a protein boost without chomping on a chalky bar or high-calorie piece of meat? This cherry almond smoothie packs a secret protein punch with cauliflower. Cauliflower is high in protein and adds vitamin C, vitamin K, and other goodies like calcium and iron. Drink up before strength training or cross training to help build muscle.
Place all chosen ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Nutrition: 1 serving
If you want to feel refreshed after your run, this post-workout smoothie fits the bill. With just three ingredients, this frosty concoction will help cool you down after a tough workout. Sip this after you stretch or while you cool down.
Optional add-ins to increase protein:
Place all chosen ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add ice, if desired. If using fresh cantaloupe or honeydew melon, you can freeze it overnight for the best smoothie results.
Don’t forget to drink your veggies. This emerald-colored smoothie includes a treasure trove of vitamins from the kale and a healthy dose of fibre from the hemp seeds. If you’re not feeling the caffeine or you’ve already had your morning coffee, skip the matcha, which is finely ground powdered green tea leaves. The Go Go Green is perfect for rest and recovery days.
