Smoothies are great for getting some fast nutrients in to your body after any workout; but particularly after long runs when it is common to lose your appetite. They are quick and easy to prepare and are much cheaper if you make your own. Home made smoothies are also a lot more nutritious than shop bought as you get the juice when it is freshly squeezed, retaining all of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Here’s my favourite recipe, it has a good combination of carbohydrates, fats and proteins:
Juice of 4 apples (about 200ml of apple juice)
1 banana
1 pot of natural yogurt (150g)
1 tablespoon of peanut butter (optional)
Ice on hot days
To make a smoothie you don’t need to buy a fancy smoothie maker, you can just use a stick blender or mini blender, I use the magic bullet. If you have any recipes that you use yourself add them to the comments section to share with other readers.
