Description
Reminiscent of a tropical drink, this smoothie is filled with all you need post workout — protein and carbohydrates to refuel and repair plus antioxidants to reduce exercise-induced inflammation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (+more if desired) unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek or Icelandic yogurt (2% or 4%)
- 1/2 cup frozen mango
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- Big handful of baby spinach or kale
- 1/3 of an avocado
- 2-3 mint leaves
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp grated ginger (I use a microplane and grate a bit right into the blender – use your judgement on how much you want!)
- 1/4 tsp grated fresh turmeric or 1/8 tsp ground (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth adding extra milk or water as needed to get consistency desired.
- Enjoy immediately or store in fridge overnight. Texture changes slightly after storing, so if you like the frozen feel/taste, you can toss in blender and add a few ice cubes and blend again. Or, put all ingredients except the yogurt + milk in a container the night before and store in the freezer – ready to go in the morning!
