Post-Workout Smoothie Recipe
Exercising increases our heart rate, blood pressure and respiration. According to Ayurveda, during this process our body assigns lower priority to digestion system and hence it is vital to avoid having food soon after workout. It is not only important to avoid eating immediately after workout but also to choose food that does not hamper the digestive fire. This is when some traditional smoothie ingredients come into the picture.
Once your body has settled down from the workout rush you can go ahead to have your post-workout fuel. To make a healthy and easy-on-the-stomach smoothie recipe, follow the below listed recipe:
Ingredients:
8 ounces homemade almond milk
4 ounces coconut water
1 teaspoon honey
¼ teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
(this preparation requires a day ahead’s work)
