POST YOGA GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPE

It is important to eat properly after each yoga practice, even if yoga mostly requires a gentle effort compared to many other sports. Yoga postures demand a deep workout of our muscles and joints.

Between 30 and 60 minutes after physical activity, our body will need some key nutrients to recover vitamins and minerals lost during sweating and to work on the regeneration of all cells, including those of muscles. Therefore, it is essential to know how to select nutrients properly in order to ensure smooth functioning of the entire body.

Smoothies are one of the best options after a yoga routine for several reasons:

• Quick and easy preparation
• Nutrient-rich ingredients
• And they’re delicious too!

But be careful, this beverage can be considered as a complete meal, so it is up to you to choose the ingredients carefully in order to have a healthy and balanced meal.

 

 

We challenge you to prepare your smoothie after your yoga session and share a photo on social networks with #gottasmoothie @gottajoga and @couleurbienetre

 

Here is an excellent recipe to make after your yoga practice:

• 1 cup of mango – In addition to being delicious, this fruit is rich in fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants. The natural sugar contained in the fruit will restore our glycogen reserves and serve as an energy source.

• 1 handful of spinach sprouts – The benefits of spinach go beyond its high iron content, it is also rich in vitamin K, essential for the health of your bones and in chlorophyll, essential to boost your elimination system. Their mission will also be to counterbalance the sugar of the fruit in order to maintain a balanced meal.
