The Best Post Workout Drinks
What do you normally drink after your workouts? A bottle of water, a protein powder shake, an energy drink, or nothing at all? While it’s important to hydrate before, during, and after a workout, water is not enough to help your muscles grow and recover! On the other hand, protein shakes and energy drinks are pretty unhealthy for your body. Which completely defeats the purpose of being healthy, doesn’t it?
Don’t sabotage your workouts
And if you’re not drinking or eating anything after a workout, what are you doing? Your body needs nutrients to replace the fluids, and electrolytes lost during your workout session! So, don’t let your hard work, time, and effort at the gym or at-home go down the drain by not eating properly afterwards.
Easy post workout recipes for you
Make your workout count by indulging in a delicious, but healthy post workout smoothie that will contribute to the recovery and growth of your muscles! Don’t know what smoothies to make? Today is your lucky day because I’ll be sharing 10 healthy and easy post workout smoothie recipes that you can make in 5 minutes! So, time is not an excuse! 😉

Ooh, I love a good strawberry smoothie, especially in the heat of summer! I have never given orange smoothie a try, but just the vibrant color of the drink makes me want to try it. As I love hot cocoa, the Cocoa Almond shake looks close in flavor.
Another one of my favorites, though it is more of a dessert smoothie, is peanut butter banana chocolate chip smoothie. 🙂
Yes, so do I! Strawberry smoothies are divine. Especially, during the summer (and after a good workout session) So happy you found some smoothies you like in this list.

The Blueberry Spinach Smooth is seriously calling to me, but also the Peach Melba Smoothie has to be one of the most aesthetic looking smoothies I’ve ever seen.
By the looks of it, it’s the popular smoothie on this list (and with good reason!) Yes, it’s so aesthetically pleasing to look at.
