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.






















For Energy: Coffee Cooler by Charlie Turner, Co-Founder of Neat Nutrition

1 Cup of Cold Coffee
2 tsp. Greek Yoghurt
1 Scoop of Vanilla Why Protein Powder
1 tsp. Cacao Powder
1 Scoop of Ice

Why its Good - Coffee can help reduce muscle inflammation, protein-rich yoghurt keeps you fuller for longer and has probiotics for better gut health. This is the perfect pick-me-up after a morning workout.

200ml Coconut Water
Splash of Coconut Milk
2 Scoops Vanilla Whey Protein
1 Scoop Almond Butter
1 tsp. Chia Seeds
1 tsp. Cacao Seeds
1 Scoop of Ice

Why its Good - The coconut is full of potassium to help rehydrate, chia seeds are loaded with Omega 3, calcium, antioxidants and fibre and cacao nibs are packed with magnesium which is important for muscle and nerve functions. This delicious, protein packed shake leaves you feeling replenished after a hard-core session.
