After any workout it is essential to help repair damaged muscle tissue through food or drink high in protein. Food and drinks high in protein supply the body with amino acids that are needed to help repair damaged tissue. I myself am extremely picky and have a hard time getting all the protein and iron I need, especially being anemic. My go to is a homemade protein smoothie. I invested in a Ninja Master Prep Professional Blender, by far the best blender for smoothies I have ever used. I am also really picky regarding ingredients, so the best protein powder I have found is the Isopure Zero Carb Creamy Vanilla Protein Powder. After having gestational diabetes with both my girls I have to be really careful about my carb intake. Unfortunately, many low carb foods are full of chemicals and junk, and this brand is the best I have found so far with zero carbs, zero sugar, decent calories, and high protein (plus it actually tastes good!) My smoothies usually contain protein powder, frozen strawberries with no added sugar, one fresh banana, ground flaxseed, and skim or almond milk. You can also add a dash of organic honey for some extra sweetness. Amounts of each ingredient vary on how much you want to make, but I usually have enough for me and my two girls, and they love it! There's no need for ice when you use frozen fruit, which is great because your smoothie won't get watered down that way and lose flavor. What are some of your favorite smoothie recipes?**Disclaimer: All opinions regarding products in this post are completely my own.
