Below is a recipe for a smoothie to drink after your run:
1/2 cup, unsweetened almond milk
1 cup fresh spinach
1 kiwi, sliced
1/2 banana (preferably frozen), sliced
Your body doesn't need a ton of nutrients to recover from an easy run. That's why this smoothie uses almond milk - it has nearly half the calories of low-fat milk. Spinach, which has just seven calories per cup, is one of the richest plant sources of iron, a mineral that helps transport oxgyen to muscles. Kiwis are high in vitamin C, which increases iron absorption. Frozen, creamy banana chills the smoothi and offsets the slightly bitter greens. This smoothi contains 128 calories, 28 g carbs, 6 g fiber, 2 g protein, and 2 g fat.
