Replenishing Recovery Smoothie

This smoothie is full of great ingredients and is absolutely delicious.  Perfect for a post workout recovery beverage or really any time.

The pretty pink colour is nice to look at as well 🙂

Here are a few benefits of some of the superstar key ingredients in this Smoothie:

Coconut water helps to replenish lost electrolytes to hydrate the body and keep the muscles functioning.

Hemp seeds aid in building lean muscle as well as recovery.

Bananas give you a boost of energy and help to maintain blood sugar levels.

1 1/2 c pure coconut water (chilled)

1 small ripe banana, peeled

1/2 c frozen pineapple

1/2 c frozen wild blueberries

1/4 c raw shelled hemp seeds

1/2 Lemon, juice of

Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.  

Pour into your glass of choice and serve immediately.

I hope you enjoy this delicious recovery smoothie.  You can also substitute hemp seeds for a scoop of your favourite protein powder if you don’t have them on hand!

Tropical Dream Cream

YUM.  This was sooooo good and so easy!  It also made quite a large batch so I even have some leftover!  Woo hoo!  Just 4 ingredients too!

You will need a food processor to create this delicious icecream.  I have tried it in a blender and a it was a little tricky, but can be done a little at a time.  Just takes patience-which I was lacking last night haha

Ingredients:

1 c plain lactose free greek yogurt

2 frozen bananas, broken into small chunks

2 c frozen mango

1 c frozen pineapple

Sorry I didn’t take any pictures while I was making it or of the ingredients!  I was just too excited and forgot all about the process. I am sure there will be a next time…and another next time after there 🙂

ADD YOGURT AND BANANA TO THE FOOD PROCESSOR AND PULSE UNTIL SMOOTH AND CREAMY.

SLOWLY ADD THE OTHER FRUIT A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.

YOU MAY NEED TO REMOVE SOME FINISHED PRODUCT FROM THE PROCESSOR BEFORE STARTING A NEW BATCH.

I DID THIS AND MIXED IT ALL TOGETHER IN MY FREEZER CONTAINER AFTERWARDS.

ONCE ALL WELL BLENDED, ADD TO A FREEZER SAFE COVERED CONTAINER AND LET SIT IN THE FREEZER FOR 1.5 HOURS.

YOU CAN ALSO GOBBLE IT UP AS SUPER SOFT SERVE IMMEDIATELY IF YOU REALLY CAN’T WAIT 😉

I hope you enjoy!  We sure did…and went back for seconds…oops!
