Gotta say, fave thing to drink at the moment, especially in the Aussie summer heat, is a frozen berry smoothie.
I pack it full of berries (fresh or frozen) for their low-GI and high-antioxidant goodness: ideal after a hard workout or before a long work day. With some yoghurt, icecubes, splash of juice and some protein, it packs a world of nutrients into one cool, satisfying drink :)
This morning's shake post-cardio was:
* 3 tbsp probiotic yoghurt (low fat and low sugar)
* 1 dessertspoon of organic coconut oil* 1/2 cup organic low-fat milk
* 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, rasperries and blueberries)
* 10 ice cubes
* banana
* 2 tsp honey
* 1/2 cup water
* handful of dried Goji berries
* 1/2 scoop unflavoured Whey protein powder (myopure brand)
Blend on high for a minute to mix in all the ice and berries.
Not just packed with goodness and tissue-repairing vitamins and anthocyanins (the potent antioxidants that give berries their colour), the iciness helps you burn off a few extra calories too!
