When I was at the Boston Marathon Run Expo, I got a sample packet of Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator. At the expo, I sampled a taste where the tropical accelerator was mixed with water. This past week I decided to add it to my post-run green recovery smoothies. It is soooo incredibly delicious in a green smoothie, no matter how you make it! But here are two smoothies I whipped up this past week that were just phenomenal.
Green Smoothie #1
*I use organic ingredients and made this in my Nutribullet, so I didn’t measure my liquids.
- 1 big handful of kale/spinach mix
- 1 big handful of frozen peach slices
- 3 whole strawberries(tops included)
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1/2 packet Vega Sport Tropical Recovery Accelerator
- 2 tsp hempseeds
- some organic milk (maybe 1/2 cup or so)
- plenty of coconut water (maybe 1 cup)
- Blend til very smooth and enjoy! 🙂
Green Smoothie #2
- 1 big handful of kale/spinach blend
- 1 handful of frozen mango chunks
- a few frozen peach slices
- a few whole strawberries (about 3 or 4)
- 1/2 chopped zucchini
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1/2 packet of Vega Sport Tropical Recovery
- 2 tsp of hempseeds
- a small handful of almonds (raw or roasted — no salt)
- organic milk (about 1/2 cup)
- coconut water (about 1 cup)
Mmm 🙂 These were so delicious, it was hard not to go back and make more. But there is always tomorrow. I love my green smoothies and this tropical accelerator really took it to the next level. Try them out and remember to use the hashtag, #runningongood so I can see your creations! ‘Til next time… keep running on good.
