This is soooo yummy!!!! It is important to drink a shake after 15 minutes of a high intensity workout but before 30 minutes. Why? There are "stress" hormones released during a workout that can prevent the maximum benefits and absorption of the shake but after 30 minutes, your body doesn't take in glucose from the carb in this shake (or any carb) in the best way to benefit your body and not raise blood sugar levels. Your muscles need glucose to recover as well as protein. The best time to have a carb such as yam, carrots, etc. is after a workout. So enjoy this shake!
1 cup almond milk (sugar free)
1/4 cup raw cashews (I used regular too if out of raw)
1 cup spinach (or kale)
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 tsp ascorbic acid (vitamin C powder)
Sweetener if desired such as stevia (I'm allergic so used 1 splenda)
1 banana (frozen if want it colder)
1 tbsp coconut oil
Blend and enjoy!
