1/2 banana

Ice

Why this is good for you:

This smoothie contains all 8 essential amino acids, the building blocks for protein. The banana provides an incredible source of slow-release energy, as well as being rich in potassium. This helps promote muscle & nerve function as well as controlling blood pressure.

The celery will help flush the body of excessive carbon dioxide & replace lost sodium, whilst the cucumber is cooling & excellent for rejuvenating muscles.

Drink 30-45 minutes after a weight session, & this powerful smoothie will help to repair the muscle & build muscle tone.
