Post workout blueberry “Green” smoothie

This smoothie is great after a big workout. It’s full of electrolytes for hydration, protein and magnesium to replenish muscles, antioxidant-rich blueberries, detoxifying greens and good fats for sustained energy.

This recipe is courtesy of The Inspired Table.

Ingredients (serves 1)

2 cups coconut water
½ small avocado
1 leaf kale
1 handful baby spinach leaves
½ cup frozen blueberries
1 small frozen banana
1 scoop protein powder (IsoWhey Wholefoods Vanilla & Lucuma)
1 teaspoon magnesium powder, optional
1 teaspoon spirulina
Goji berries, bee pollen and activated buckwheat, to garnish

Method

Blend coconut water, avocado, kale and baby spinach in a blender until pureed. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pour into a mason jar or serving glass and garnish with gojis, bee pollen, buckwheat and extra blueberries.

This sounds similar to a smoothie my friend makes, without the protein powder. Very yummy.

Yum sounds good. I wouldn’t be using frozen berries at the moment though. 😉
