CTB 18: Ode to Smoothies

Smoothies are healthy, smoothies are colourful, smoothies are always fresh and easy to make.

Smoothies can be your breakfast, your lunch, dinner or snack.

Smoothies fuel you before a hard workout (or a busy day) and they help you recover afterwards.

You can be creative, playful and zen while making them. And you can be yourself with smoothies! So what kind of smoothie are you? :-)

Here are two of my absolute favourites: the pre-workout-breakfast-"can´t beet me" smoothie (pink) and post-workout- "green recovery bomb"! Perfect pair for Iron People!

Ingredients for "Can´t beet me" smoothie: 1 cooked beet, 1 banana, 1/2 pear or apple, 150ml almond milk, 150ml (or more) water, 1 teaspoon nut butter, 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, fresh ginger.

Ingredients for "Green recovery bomb": 1/2 avocado, 1 celery stick, 1 banana, a handful of spinach, 2 tablespoon vegan protein powder, 1 teaspoon wheatgrass, 1 cup of almond/coconut/soy milk and water or ice-cubes to your liking. To make it really perfect: 10 drops of cordyceps extract and some ounces of Spirulina. A turbo for your recovery - and a full meal! 

Perfect Duo for Iron People. "Can´t beet me" pre-workout & "Green recovery bomb" smoothies.
