Planted Protein Smoothie

Need to recharge after a tough but rewarding workout? Our healthy protein smoothie is just what you need to help kickstart recovery!

Easy to make and digest, smoothies offer a simple way to get the protein you need to build muscle, the carbs you need to restore glycogen and the antioxidants needed to help fight inflammation.  When consuming a smoothie post workout ensure the mix contains all three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates and fat. Ingredients can include green vegetables or fruit, protein such as coconut yoghurt, silken tofu or a protein powder and a liquid such as coconut water, juice or a non-dairy milk. We always blend our smoothies with ice for that extra chilled feeling.

Consume your Planted protein smoothie within 30-60 minutes post exercise to swiftly restore energy stores and repair any muscle damage. Our favourite Planted Protein Smoothie is below.
