Post-workout kiwi and banana smoothie
This smoothie is a much better choice than an oat bar for a post-workout snack.
Carbs from the banana, and milk and kiwi help to top up muscle glycogen stores while providing protein for the repair of tissues.
Sports scientists say that a milk and banana combination is as effective as any protein-powder or sports drink.
How to make
- 300ml (½ pint) semi-skimmed milk
- 1 banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped
- 100ml (3½fl oz) apple juice
Put the fruit, milk and juice into your blender until smooth. Serve over crushed ice.
To crush ice simply put ice cubes into a freezer bag and hit with a rolling pin until crushed.
