    What if I told you that you could get incredible nourishment from a green smoothie after your workout?! And what if, that smoothie was equally delicious and nutritious? Well, that's exactly what I have for you today.

    Post Workout Green Smoothie in a glass with two straws

    This green smoothie is loaded up with all kinds of nutrients... but what are those nutrients good for?:

    Dark and leafy greens

    • An excellent source of vitamins A, C & K
    • Supplies folate and potassium
    • Great source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which is ideal for muscle recovery

    Chia seeds

    • High in Omega-3 fatty acids
    • Deliver a massive amount of nutrients, i.e. fiber, protein, manganese, magnesium, etc.
    • Full of antioxidants

    For more chia seed based recipes, check out my Apple Cinnamon Chia Pudding here!

    Collagen peptides

    • 1 serving of collagen peptides delivers 18 grams of high quality protein
    • Helps keep bones healthy and strong and supports joint health
    • Natural glycine improves sleep quality.

    To read more about the benefits of collagen peptides, check out my favorite company here for more info!

    Coconut cream

    • a very healthy fat source, plus high fatty acid content
    • Contains lauric acid, antimicrobial lipids and capric acid, which have antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties (1)

    Important tip: Make sure you buy coconut cream/coconut milk cans that are BPA-free!

    This post workout green smoothie is the perfect supplementation after a workout. We need to replenish the nutrients in our bodies with the appropriate foods in order to recover and rebuild those muscles we just worked out.

    Not working out today? That's okay- go ahead and pin this recipe for later use, duh!
