Nothing helps the body and mind recover from an intense workout quite like a flavorful, creamy, ice cold smoothie. This book shows athletes of all levels how to fortify their after-gym smoothies with the protein and nutrients the body needs to repair itself, build lean muscle and burn off fat. This book features dozens of delicious fortified smoothie recipes to help any athlete build muscle, recover from workouts, lose fat, and nourish the body. Top athletes know that packing on muscle, burning fat and staying in peak shape takes a lot more than sweating at the gym, it takes a meticulously-planned diet to ensure the body gets the right amount of protein, carbs, amino acids and nutrients to repair and rebuild itself. Among the favorite workout foods of top athletes? Protein-rich smoothies. Quick and easy to make and chalk full of the exact nutrients the body needs, protein-fortified smoothies are just what the personal trainer ordered. But there's no need to spend tons of money on store-bought fitness drinks to put on pounds of lean muscle. Power Smoothies shows athletes and gym-lovers of all levels how to make super-healthy, superfood blends in the kitchen.
The recipes in the book draw from every athlete-proven ingredient to create delicious homemade concoctions from the Peanut butter-Banana-Almond Milk Muscle Maximizer and Strawberry-Pineapple-Kale Runner's Recovery to the Whey Protein-Chia Seed-Raspberry Post Gym Panacea. The author, a personal trainer and nutritionist, delivers the need-to-know nutrition facts and tips to get the most out of every recipe.
