Ayurvedic Smoothie – Perfect Post-Workout Drink

Drinking a smoothie after workout is a convenient way of getting a lot of nutrients all at once and also acts as an excellent workout recovery drink. Though it is a good practice to have smoothie after workouts, a few tweaks in the ingredients should be made according to the digestion process in your body. By taking that into account it not only promotes digestion but also helps the nervous system and tissue rebuilding to support your post-workout experience. 
While picking ingredients for a smoothie choose foods, spices or herbs that ignite agni and supports a healthy inflammatory response and encourages circulation. You can ignite agni by avoiding frozen or icy ingredients and including ginger, lime, cilantro, fennel, cardamom or cinnamon. Reduce combining foods that are taxing on your digestive system. For example, avoid fruit, dairy or yogurt as they digest best when consumed alone. Add dates, sesame, ghee and almond milk which helps in rebuilding tissues and support immune system as well. 

Post-workout your body would require rehydration and the best way is to have water and also, by making a smoothie with coconut water. This helps in replenishing your body with water content and electrolytes.
