Not everyone uses “recover” drinks, but for those of you that do then I thought you might appreciate this super simple smoothie idea! Found via those fab chaps at Tailwind UK…

This is hands-down the simplest Coffee Rebuild Recovery Smoothie you can make, but that doesn’t make it any less delicious. Ready in under a minute, very few ingredients required!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Toss everything in your blender and pulse until ice is thoroughly crushed. 
  2. Enjoy within an hour of exercise!

Supplemental Ideas

From this simple base, feel free to spruce up or substitute to your heart’s content. Here are a few of our favourite additions and substitutions:

  • Use dairy or non-dairy milk in place of water for added creaminess. I tried Oatmilk and that worked pretty well.
  • Add a scoop of nut butter (peanut butter to you and me I think!) for more protein and thickness
  • Top with whipped cream (for obvious reasons)
  • I experimented with throwing in some strawberries and that seemed to go well

Ultimately it is super easy and tastes nice… So enjoy it!

  • Why you might prefer a Fitness Mentor

    Since qualifying as a Personal Trainer some years ago now the role has never quite sat comfortably with me. I set out to offer something different, and yet once labeled as a “Personal Trainer” I effectively became that person that wrote programmes, counted reps (with varying degrees of accuracy!) and basically instructed people on how…

  • Running Injury Risks

    There are numerous health benefits to running, but of course it also carries an inherent degree of injury risk. Most injuries arise from overuse rather than trauma. Broadly, there are three main categories of risk considered to cause running injuries: biomechanical factors, anatomical factors and training error. Over the course of the next few blogs…
