So sorry everyone for referencing that terrible "song" for my title; but, it IS quite catchy. So, I just got back home from Europe, where there is also AMAZING food, but I decided to do a food cleanse. So much bread eating occurred in Europe, lots of wine, and lots of chocolate... hey, we all deserve a little bit of cheating. Anyway, today I went on my first run back home. I went about 5 miles I think... between 4 and 5, and when I got home, I made myself a cute, little juice-type drink.
Recovery "Juice"
What's in it?
- a small handful frozen (but recently picked) blackberries from my hometown
- a sliver of fresh, raw ginger (I slice a piece usually the size of a thumbtack)
- one cup of water
- one half of a freshly picked, raw fig
Just blend all ingredients up and bon appetite, you've got yourself a super healthy post work-out drink that will help with recovering your cell break-down from working out as well as provide sufficient energy and aid in reducing inflammation (if there is any).
