Have you gotten your workout in yet? I have! I did 45 minutes cardio and then 45 minutes of weight training! Today was dedicated to LEGGGSSSS!
Anyways, you really just want a recipe, so here we go. This is one of my FAVORITE post workout treats. I say treat, because, let's be real! It tastes like dessert. Dessert at 930am? YES PLEASE.
It's a simple 5 ingredients:
-1c Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
-1/2c Fresh Sliced Strawberries
-1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder (I use Optimum Nutrition)
-2tbsp Ground Flaxseed
-Ice (I start with 3-4 long ice cubes and add until I get my desired consistency)
(One awesome reason to come to central Florida during this time of year... Super fresh and tasty strawberries for not so much money!)
The instructions are fairly simple as well: Place it in the blender and blend. Then ENJOY!

-Great source of fiber
