This is a super simple drink to help replenish the electrolytes we all lose through our sweat. Electrolytes play a key role in muscle and nerve function, blood pressure and blood PH. Depletion of electrolytes can cause muscle weakness, cramping, and additional  medical issues.  The store bought brands can be expensive and are loaded withy extra sugar, preservatives, and food dyes.  This is an easy, cost effective, whole food beverage, to keep you feeling great throughout the summer and during your training sessions.

Recipe Notes

In the summer, I  usually have a cup in the morning before I head out for the day.  When I'm planning an outdoor workout, I'll have 1 cup, 30 minutes before I go, and 6-8 ozs. every hour of my workout (along with water).

Peanut Butter and Yay!

August 29, 2014
IMG_6704

I had a variation of this on my recent trip to Maine, and was in LOVE!  It seems so simple, chocolate and peanut butter, but I never really thought about it for a smoothie.  The day we ordered this, the girls and I did not do so well with our sharing skills.  The one year old and the three year old made it clear, that just one, was not enough.  This smoothie is filled with goods fats to use as fuel, protein, and a big dose of antioxidants, thanks to the cacao (or cocoa powder).  Kale, spinach, or green powder make it into every smoothie I make.  They’re tasteless in a smoothie like this, and the abundance of vitamins and minerals, make them food gold.  Vary it up according to your preferences, or what you have on hand, and try to make extra, so you don’t have to share!
