19. Chunky Monkey Chocolate milk can help the body recover after exercise because of its carb-to-protein ratio (four to one) [3]. And combining chocolate, peanut butter, and banana is always a win.
1 medium banana 1 tablespoon peanut butter 1 cup low-fat chocolate milk 3 ice cubes 20. Sweet Potato Pie Protein powder has come a long way from the old standbys of chocolate and vanilla. This shake features cinnamon bun flavored whey protein (?!), along with potato, which canreplenish glycogen stores after a solid workout, as well as flavor packed cinnamon-bun protein powder. 1 scoop cinnamon bun whey protein (or vanilla protein and 1 teaspoon cinnamon) ¼ cup sweet potato, peeled, cooked, and diced 1 cup vanilla almond milk 3 ice cubes 21. Cherry Berry Tea Tofu not only thickens this fruit-heavy smoothie, but also sneaks in eight grams of protein. The red tea adds sweetness, antioxidants, and a pretty hue to boot. Cherries may even help aid in muscle recovery after strenuous exercise. ¾ cup water 2 bags rooibos tea 6 ounces silken tofu 2 cups sweet cherries, frozen 1 cup grapes, frozen ½ cup blueberries, frozen 22. Savory Surprise Smoothies don’t always have to be for the sweet-tooth-sippers out there. Gingeradds spice, to this savory beverage and might help ease sore muscles. Cayenne pepper has also been shown to suppress appetite and boost metabolism. 6 ounces carrot juice ½ cup avocado 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger Pinch of cayenne pepper 23. Creamy Cantaloupe This smoothie has a whole half of a cantaloupe (superfood alert!), which helps hydrate after a sweaty workout (since it’s 89 percent water). Plus, one cup of the fruit has as much potassium as a medium banana! ½ cantaloupe, seeded and roughly chopped ½ cup plain Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon honey 3 ice cubes 24. Strawberry Peach Oatmeal This mix is extra thick thanks to the oats, yogurt, and chia seeds. Greek yogurt has double the protein compared to the regular stuff, which is important to speed up recovery time after a workout. Cook the oatmeal separately and let it cool before adding it the blender with the remaining ingredients. 3-4 peach slices, frozen (or about half a peach) 6-8 strawberries, frozen ¼ cup rolled oats ½ cup plain, fat-free Greek yogurt ¼ cup orange juice 1 tablespoon chia seeds 3 ice cubes 25. Pina Colada Coconut water is a great substitute for water after a workout because it’s been found to offer the same hydration as leading sports drinks, (just minus all the calories and yucky sugars). This smoothie highlights superfood pineapple, which boosts the immune system and has a ton of vitamin C. ½ cup unsweetened almond milk ½ cup coconut water (or try coconut water ice cubes!) ½ cup pineapple, frozen 1 teaspoon honey 1 tablespoon shredded coconut ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 26. Raspberry Turmeric Turmeric, the bright yellow spice known for it’s anti-inflammatory properties, adds a kick to this smoothie that gets added nutrition from hemp seeds. 1 cup water 1 banana ¼ cup raspberries, frozen 2 tablespoons hemp seeds ¼ teaspoon turmeric½ teaspoon cinnamon 3 stalks collard greens 27. Almond Butter and Jelly This is like peanut butter and jelly, but way better — and you don’t even have to chew. Almond butter beats out peanut butter for fiber, iron, and vitamin E. ¾ cup almond milk 1 tablespoon almond butter ½ scoop vanilla protein powder ½ banana, frozen1 tablespoon jam 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 3 ice cubes
