Raspberry Beet Smoothie for Workout Recovery
This vibrant, nutrient-dense smoothie combines the nitric oxide-boosting power of beets with antioxidant-rich raspberries to reduce muscle soreness and accelerate post-workout recovery.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen raspberries unsweetened
- 1 cup cooked beets peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 medium banana frozen for creamier texture
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or coconut water for extra electrolytes
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain and non-fat
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for omega-3 fatty acids
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated, to aid digestion and inflammation
- 1 tbsp honey optional, to balance the earthy beet flavor
Notes
For best results, consume within 30-45 minutes of finishing your workout. You can substitute the almond milk with coconut water for a more refreshing, electrolyte-heavy version. To make ahead, portion the beets, berries, and banana into freezer bags; just add liquid and yogurt when ready to blend.
