So with all this mad training an what not, I have been digging around for some good quality snacks and meals that will help to replenish all of those vitamins and minerals in order to aid recovery. My favourite so far it has to be said is this little beaut:
Found over on the rather cool Honest Fare food blog I instantly had to try out this recipe.
So here is my guide (slightly altered from the original to cater to my taste):
Ingredients
1 Banana
1 Apple
1/2 Mango
1 handful of Parsley
2 big handfuls of Spinnach
1 inch of minced Ginger (I upped this because i liked the after-kick)
5 large ice cubes
1/2 – 1 cup of Soy Milk
4 Strawberries
Method
Simply blend the hell out of all this stuff!!! I go with everything apart from the ice to start and add that once everything is almost fully blended together.
I have actually consumed this smoothie as a meal replacement on a few ocassions. Its a pretty filling beast of a drink and the quantities above should allow you to create a large glass with plenty left over for breakfast in the morning.
Enjoy.
