Most Excellent Mango Smoothie for Swimmers
This is a great recipe that has a good combination of carbs and protein and postassium and my picky swimmer LOVES it.
Here’s all you need:
- Bolthouse Farms Amazing Mango Fruit Smoothie (1/2 of a small container)
- Plain Non-Fat Yogurt (1/2 small container)
- Banana (1) (organic if possible)
- 1-2 cups ice
Basically, all you do is pour the Amazing Mango Fruit Smoothie into the blender, add banana broken into pieces for easier blending, plop in the plain non-fat yogurt and add 1-2 cups ice. Then blend…this makes two large glasses (one for my son and one for me).
The yogurt adds the protein, banana adds the postassium, the fruit adds the carbs and the ice adds some water for hydration. This is a great pre-, between, or post-workout snack. It’s fine to drink a bit of this up to 15 minutes before jumping in the water since it’s liquified and can make it’s way through the digesstive tract quicker than protein bars, etc.
