Fitness Tip of the Week:
- Smoothies are best eaten 30 to 60 minutes after a workout to help restore energy stores and repair muscle damage. Try to aim for more greens in your smoothie than fruits. Fruits contain a moderate to large amount of sugar depending on which fruit you are using. Smoothies are an easy way to digest and offer a large amount of protein to rebuild the muscles and offer enough carbs to restore the glycogen you burn from your workout!
