After exercise your muscles need protein for repair and carbs to replenish energy stores. Hydration is also an important part of the recovery process, so a high protein smoothie is ideal. Anti-inflammatory nutrients are also supportive of a healthy healing process.
Try to have this recovery smoothie within an hour after a tough training session or race. Make it in advance and store in a flask if you are away from home.
