One of my favorite things about training is drinking this smoothie afterwards. I know... kind of lame, but it is so good that it feels like it's a treat. It's incredibly easy to make and is packed full of muscle-repairing protein, heart healthy fat and recovery carbs. One batch makes enough for me and my kids (or you could split the recipe and put half in the freezer for after tomorrow's workout). But the best part? It tastes like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup... in a glass (drool...).
