With four of our six superfoods plus strawberries—which have lots of carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores and antioxidants to counteract exercised-induced tissue damage—this shake is as healthy and rejuvenating as it is delicious. Drink it within 30 minutes of a workout for maximum benefit.

Almond Butter Smoothie
1.
Place 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 scoop (10 grams) undenatured whey protein, 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon almond butter (or 2 tablespoons almonds) in a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until smooth, then add ice and blend again until thick and frothy. Serves 1.

Contains approximately 370 calories, with 42 grams carbohydrates and 14 grams protein.
