Summer is here and that means our days are longer. Given that we have more time to adventure, surf, hike, and spend time outside, it’s important that we give our bodies the nutrients it needs to recover. Since we are expending more energy we need to remember that refueling our bodies after our activities is a crucial element to rebuilding and feeding our muscles. This easy smoothie recipe is full of protein and helps to re-energize me.
This unique recipe includes chia seeds which are high in nutrients and minerals including: omega-3’s fatty acids, fiber, protein, and minerals.
Pro Tip: The hint of Cinnamon adds other health benefits such as the possibility of reducing inflammation, fighting bacteria, and may lower blood sugar.
