Top 5 Supercharged Post Workout Smoothies

If you are a fitness fanatic or just an active person, this article will be a lifesaver!  After a hard workout you will naturally get hungry after an hour or so and what you put in your body during the first 4 hours post exercise is absolutely critical.  You do not want to eat a meal high in saturated fat or loaded with inefficient carbs such as pasta.  You need to feed your body essential nutrients that will help your muscles recover and build properly.  It is important to create a balanced smoothie and you don’t want to load up on a ton of sugar – even from fruit.

The Key Ingredients

The most essential ingredient in ALL of these shakes is going to be a very high quality whey protein.  You can find one of the best at www.mercola.com.  It comes in three different flavors (vanilla, strawberry and chocolate) so you can change it up and never get bored! 

The second ingredient that is key is raw eggs.  I know what you’re thinking!  Right now you’re probably thinking one of two things: how gross!  Or I’ll get sick from eating raw eggs!  Well if either of those thoughts crossed your mind let me tell you, you couldn’t be further from the truth.  Eating organic raw eggs is extremely healthy for you and you should do so on a daily basis.  The chance of you getting sick with salmonella from eating an organic raw egg is less likely than you winning the lottery!

And again “organic food” is key here, you need to purchase high quality ingredients especially when you’re digesting them raw, so don’t gamble and get the highest quality product. 

If you thought “how gross!” then you need to try these smoothies, because the nasty consistency of the raw egg we all hate so much completely goes away once you blended well with all the ingredients.  In fact, you will end up with an even smoother smoothie by adding the raw eggs. Try it, you will love it!

Now that you have your top ingredients, you can play around and add frozen or fresh fruit.  If you’re lactose intolerant then you can substitute organic raw milk for organic unsweetened almond milk. 

So here are the top 5 post workout smoothies you will LOVE!

These smoothies are delicious, easy to make and provide you with exactly what you need post workout.  Try and limit the fruit to just one and add other things that complement the fruit, that way you won’t overload your body with too much sugar.

In order to achieve ideal results you should take krill oil as well as eat a balanced diet throughout the day.  You can play with the ingredients until the desired taste and consistency is achieved.  It is really easy to then add new ingredients or replace some and change up the recipes.

Make sure you consume these shakes within that 4 hours window when your body will absorb everything efficiently.  Enjoy!
