Ladan's Smoothie Recipe

A fantastic all round energy booster, this recipe is full of wholesome goodness which I use most days in conjunction with my training.

It contains all the nutrition you need in a meal. Also, a great shake to have pre work-out, or to take post work-out to help replenish and recovery, not to mention the benefits and effects on your digestion and skin.

Ingredients:

Half cup of organic soya milk
One handful of organic blueberries
One scoop of soya/pea/rice protein powder OR one teaspoon of spirulina powder
Quarter teaspoon of wheatgrass ( Only if you use the protein powder but not if you use the spirulina)
2 tablespoons of EFA'S (omega 3,6,9)
4.5 mg of l-glutamine powder (take another scoop if you are training hard before bedtime)
2 cap full of organic aloe vera juice.

Mix together in a blender and enjoy.. DELICIOUS, YUMMY!!!

If you are taking this specially for post-work-outs or as a meal replacement, then you can add a banana or other berries.

Useful Tips...

If you are training most days and need energy and recovery, then as well as the smoothie, at night I take ZMA,( zinc, b6 and magnesium).
Usually I take more magnesium if I have really gone mad with the training (600mg). By the way ladies, ZMA with EFAS (essential fatty acids) are very helpful for PMT symptoms. I find that taking these supplements along with the smoothie helps to balance out your hormones and give you less sugar cravings.

Also whilst I have this shake, if it is after a session, then I take BCAA (branch chain amino acids), 1000mgs of vitamin C and drink tons of water before during and after training.

Well I hope that this has been useful. Please let me know how you are getting on with this and if you have any questions.

ENJOY YOUR SMOOTHIE.........
