Post-Workout Tips & Smoothie Recipe

5 easy tips to maximize post workout recovery! 

1. Consume a post-workout recovery meal within 15-60 minutes following your workout. 

2. Eat foods that are easy to digest – your muscles need blood to deliver nutrients to them.  Dairy is notoriously hard to digest

3. Stay away from acidic foods – greens, sprouted vegetables, lemons and limes are good neutralizers to acids.

4. Nourish your adrenal glands (Your adrenal, or suprarenal, glands are located on the top of each kidney. These glands produce hormones that you can't live without, including sex hormones and cortisol, which help you respond to stress and has many other functions).  Great source is ground maca root.

5. Recovery doesn’t stop with your post-workout meal.  Eat again an hour or two after your workout and drink at least your body weight in ounces of water per day.
