Another smoothie experiment ...

Tonight, after getting home I felt like making another smoothie experiment using this time Vitasoy's Oat & Quinoa "milk" instead of soy "milk". It was good enough to warrant sharing the recipe so here it is:

• 1 cup of Oat & Quinoa milk (Vitasoy brand)
• 3 tsp of Flax/Chia meal (grounded seeds, 50/50)
• 3 small plums
• 1 medium banana

Blend till smooth and enjoy!

The n00b's recovery drink

We went for a 10k run this morning after taking Saturday off. When we got back I thought about making a recovery smoothie. However, since I have not yet looked into details to what are the things such a drink should contain for post workout, I mostly worked off things I recalled from what I heard in the (sports) podcasts I listen to (e.g Zen and the Art of Triathlon) and it was yummy:

Here's the recipe:

• 1.5 cups of Almond Milk
• 2 small Plums
• 1 medium Banana
• 3 tsp Chia Seeds
• 4 Dates

I used SparkRecipes to estimate the nutrition info, and it seems pretty decent to me (carbs, protein and electrolytes) but hey, what do I know? ...

I shared the smoothie (about 2 cups) with the wife and the kid, but I had probably 2/3 of it.
