Shake Up Your Workout
Protein is essential for the growth and repair of muscles, but our bodies can't store it, so we need to keep topping it up. However, some people think this will may bulk you up, but not if your doing substantial exercise so whatever you need there's a shake for you.
For A Vitamin Hit - The Big Green by Rhian Stephenson, nutritionist & CEO of Psycle London
250ml Almond Milk
1 Scoop of Vanilla-flavoured plant based protein (pea, rice or hemp)
1 frozen banana, chopped
1/2 Handful of Blueberries
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1 Handful of Spinach
1/2 tsp. Spirulina
Why its Good - Spirulina is protein dense, high in Omega 3, iron and potassium and can help lower cholesterol. The spinach is an excellent source of Vitamin K and A (for strong bones), plus the lemon will dose you up on Vitamin C and aid digestion. So from its cool-mint hue to its fresh flavour, this is a great breakfast shake to start the day.
