banana protein blast

This smoothie will quickly get the job of refueling tired muscles done. A combination of carbohydrates and protein replenishes glycogen stores (the storage form of carbohydrates in the body) after a workout. In fact, replenishing glycogen is a key to having adequate fuel for the next workout! Plus, the blast provides 50 percent of the daily value (500 milligrams) of calcium! Serves 1 (1½ cups)
