I modified this original Emeril Lagasse smoothie recipe to kick up the recovery quotient. I love milkshakes, and this is the closest to mimicking their silky consistency. But, of course, this one is a whole lot better for you.One 12-ounce glass packs 125 grams of carbs and 21 1/4 grams of leg-healing protein. In all, it's 570 calories guaranteed to help you recover from today's ride and shred the roads or trails tomorrow.
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1/8 cup fat-free yogurt
1/8 cup orange juice
1 frozen banana*
2 cups fresh strawberries
2 scoops Hammer Nutrition Recoverite (with this, you're also getting 3 grams of immune-system-boosting Glutamine). If you don't have Recoverite, sub your favorite vanilla protein powder.
Combine all in blender at high speed. Garnish with whole strawberry.
*Cutting up a banana and freezing it overnight eliminates the need for smoothie-diluting ice.
Here's to going faster. Cheers.
