There’s nothing like a filling and satisfying smoothie after a good workout to provide your body with the fuel it needs to recovery and rebuild. I recommend that you use your favorite protein powder in many recipes and can’t emphasize enough the importance of using a high quality protein powder.
Last year a Consumer Reports test revealed contaminants such as cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury present in some protein powders. You sure don’t want any of those heavy metals in your smoothies.
I personally use and recommend Sun Warrior and Dr. Mercola’s Miracle Whey protein powders. I’ve done my research on both and found them to be top of the line. Sun Warrior is raw vegan for people that don’t do animal products. Both come in a chocolate flavor that I love and provide enough tastiness that I don’t need to add an additional sweetener.
Here’s my favorite post workout smoothie recipe that’s high in protein and tastes great. Enjoy!
