Taking a quick break this week from grilling, we at Norton wanted to celebrate the blueberry. This little blue fruit packs a serious antioxidant punch, which improves memory, helps restore muscles after a workout, and helps restore the cardiovascular system after workouts. Basically... it helps you recover and keeps your mind younger. Sold yet?
This week's recipe combines the incredible antioxidant restorative properties of blueberries, (along with high levels of vitamin K and manganese) with the the protein of Greek yogurt and the potassium of bananas, for one incredible post-exercise drink.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ripe banana
- 2/3 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 large frozen strawberries
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, coconut, soy, almond)
- 2 teaspoons protein powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of honey, or to taste
Method: Swirl all ingredients together in a blender and serve in a tall clear glass so you can admire the color. (C'mon, you know you want to see how pretty the purple is.)
Enjoy! And drink up! Exercise takes a lot out of your body, so it is important to replenish it with the nutrition it needs to perform optimally.
See you back here next week with another warm-weather grill recipe!
