Recipe: The BEST Recovery Drink for Runners

{Gluten Free * Magic Free * Power Full}

Check out this Recovery Drink Recipe I found from RUN EAT REPEAT!

I recently came across this amazing recovery drink for runners. It has what ya need to conquer the world and/OR help you recover with some powerful fruits and veggies.

1. Beets. I’ve read that beets are amazing for endurance athletes. Beets are high in nitrates, and proved to help increase endurance in cyclists (even more than a supplement with nitrates). Basically, they help you go longer and we all know that’s important.

I don’t like eating beets (kinda think they taste like dirt). But I LOVE drinking them. My favorite detox juice has a lot of beets, which I think is perfect!

2. Coconut water. Supposedly it is the closest liquid to human plasma. What?! It’s like blood doping, but with plants.

3. Watermelon. Watermelon is my favorite food ever to help prevent muscle soreness. Plus, I love it.

So, it only makes sense to combine all these great things in one glass for the best runner’s drink ever.

THE BEST MAGICAL RECOVERY DRINK RECIPE

{Gluten Free * Magic Free * Power Full}

• 1.5 cups coconut water

Blend thoroughly. Serve over ice. It tastes best super cold.
