It is important to refuel your muscles with protein within 45 minutes of your workout. Adding a banana will help your body speed the process of getting the protein to your muscles and start the recovery process.
Thought I would share my quick post workout shake recipe:
2 scoops Sun Warrior Vegan Protein blend (note I am not vegan, but I can't process whey protein)
1 tbsp. organic coconut oil (the jar pictured was $15 at Costco!)
1/2 frozen banana
1 1/2 cups water
Ice
Blend till smooth and enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds Yummy! I'm definitely going to try this one!
ReplyDeleteHow do I know if I can't process whey protein?

ReplyDeleteLaina, That is a great question. I have a sensitivity to dairy products. I get an upset stomach and I get really bloated. When I was drinking whey my stomach would hurt and be so bloated I looked pregnant. I switched to a plant based protein after that and I don't experience that any more. I have used Arbonne protein and also the Sun Warrior Raw Blend. It takes some getting used to but I love it now. Do you feel that you may have a problem processing whey? Do you experience the same symptoms? I look forward to hearing back from you!
