I love to drink this smoothie after a workout! It acts as a balanced snack, meal or recovery shake because it’s loaded with protein and carbohydrates and is a great way to re-hydrate. This smoothie is packed with healthy and hydrating electrolytes and plant-based protein for muscle recovery. Hydration is important and it’s easy to miss out on the benefits of electrolytes by only drinking water. Serve and enjoy this smoothie cold for the best taste. Get the recipe.

I came up with a DELICIOUS kale salad, perfect for this time of year: Citrus Kale Salad. This really was so refreshing and tasty! Besides the health-appeal of this salad, the other thing that makes it so special is that it keeps super well. The kale stays crisp and bouncy and the salad was just as good 3 days later as it was on its original debut.
