Cooking Tip
Add a splash of cold water for easier blending, or a few ice cubes if using fresh ingredients, to cool this smoothie down after intense training. Frozen pineapple works well too! Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make this into the perfect post-training recovery smoothie.
Performance Fact
Kale, when paired with a vitamin C source such as orange juice and pineapple, can provide a good source of iron. Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which help to decrease inflammation after muscle-damaging exercise and can also help athletes with high energy expenditures meet their calorie needs.
