the problem with the acai bowl at the smoothie bar in most places is that the only protein is the ingredients on top like the nut butter or granola you add. The reality is it if full of sugar – the exact thing you want to avoid after a workout or any other time. Make this one at home and you can enjoy the flavor and eye-candy without the sugar.

Filled with plant-based protein and healthy fat and fiber all that will keep you full and support muscle recovery. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

I swore up and down I’d never sell supplements for 30 years. Until I realized that even I’d been duped and didn’t know what I didn’t know 30 years ago and many of my clients were still unsuspecting. MAJOR brands sold by “coaches” contain many of those ingredients above. The coaches are not doing it on purpose. But getting the title of “coach” is pretty easy these days and if someone looks fit you may trust her all too easily.

If cravings are a big and regular thing for you, consider your micronutrient level. Could you be skimping now, or have you for so long in the past you’re depleted? No one ever said, I love to take supplements, but truth is there is plenty of evidence that it would be hard to eat all the even RDAs (which are no where near where most doctors think acceptable for thriving today).

After exercise wait 60 minutes to have this smoothie and your body will synthesize the protein better for optimal recovery. When that’s not possible? Don’t stress over it, even doing the right thing 80% of the time will help. Every single ingredient in this recovery smoothie offers anti-oxidants, anti-inflammation, toxin-removing properties that support your goals while satisfying your “I deserve this” deliciousness thoughts at the same time.
