Ultimate Recovery Shakes
These shakes are to be consumed within 30 minutes of your session finishing. They each provide all the nutrients for fast restocking of glycogens stores, electrolytes, protein synthesis and importantly getting blood acidosis levels down and alkalinity up.
I now like to rotate my protein powders every few weeks as a healthier option of doing things. I also try to rotate my fruits and vegetables and proteins weekly too. The reason is we can build up a toxicity to even healthy foods if we eat them day in day out and multiple times.
Protein:
Grass Fed NZ Whey Protein Concentrate
Recovery Shake #1
In this order
1 cup Organic Almond Milk
1 scoop of protein power I’m using from the above lists depending on the rotation.
1 Banana
1 Cup of Frozen mixed Berries
1 tsp Maca powder
1 tsp local honey (local honey is best if you have allergies as local honey can help due to bees gathering pollen from local honey)
Pinch of Himalayan Sea Salt
Blend on high for 30 seconds

350-700ml of Fruit Juice (best for this shake would be apple, grape, pineapple or orange)
