| Recovery shake! |
Coach Rita recommends I have a recovery shake every day, which is great since I was already getting into this habit with my schedule as busy as it is these days. I guess it's working well too considering my progress pics below!
We are both adamant about a few key things in your protein selection:
1. Look for a short ingredient list (the more ingredients the less likely it's good for you)
2. No fillers (aspartame and sugar free)
3. Stevia is a great sweetener replacement
4. Look for high protein per serving (20-30g)
5. Added BCAAs are always a bonus, but not necessary,
6. High carb are fine post workout and low carb if you are trying to slim down.
7. And of course a yummy flavour!
Here's my latest Recovery Shake Recipe:

I can't believe the progress you have made in such a short time!!! You are so inspiring, and you will always be someone I look up to. I'm loving the little peeks into your competition fitness and nutrition routine. I can't wait to see the end result! And, of course, you are amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like another healthy recipe. One that has a lot of ingredients, but is still good for you. I was under the impression that people were eating chia seed in place of flax seed. Is it important to have both?
ReplyDeleteWhat are active greens?
ReplyDeleteGreat job. You look awesome after your first week. No doubt you will look amazing after your done with your prep training.
