So after Family day and probably eating snacks and junk food all weekend. You cheated on your diet and are ready to get back on the band wagon. So I went out for a run after dinner. Upon returning from my run I am always starving so I'm sharing my go-to superfood smoothie recipes. Lets start out quick and easy.
Strawberry-Banana Smoothie
1 Banana
1 Handful of Strawberries/mixed berries
1 Handful of ice
1/2 cup of coconut water/milk
1 tbsp flaxseed

| Frozen Strawberries/Bananas for easy access |
I Like to pre-package my fruit for the week, making it much easier to throw in the blender when I'm ready to blend it up. Just a tip: Slice up the banana before you freeze it.
FlaxSeed
This is the Flaxseed I use, but you can buy most brands at any grocery store, health food store, GNC, Whole Foods etc.

| Frozen Blueberries |
I used yummy blueberries filled with Antioxidents, adds a bit more flavor to your regular strawberry banana smoothie.
This smoothie is great for a post-workout recovery treat. Our Superfood Smoothie is great for the following reasons:
Banana - contains minerals and potassium which help enhance muscle function
Strawberries/Mixed Berries - loaded with antioxidents, helps reduce muscle inflammation
Flaxseed - helps with weight management and decreases muscle inflammation
Coconut water - more hydrating than normal water, which is always good after a workout where you have been sweating a lot.
So let me know what you think about this recipe and what do you do differently?
