POPEYE POWER


The protein, complex carbohydrates, quick release sugar from the banana and omega from the chia make this a great post-workout recovery to fuel and repair the muscles. The sodium from the spinach will help to replace lost salts.

Spinach is low in saturated fat, and very low in cholesterol. It is also a good source of niacin and zinc, and a very good source of dietary fibre, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and manganese.  So that’s where Popeye got his strength from!

INGREDIENTS
1x Banana
1x Beetroot
1x scoop Vegan protein mix
30g Oats
1/2 Yellow pepper
40g Spinach
30g Blueberries
1x Lime 
2x tsps Super green powder
1x tsp Chia seeds
100ml water

(No sugar No grain/Low Carbohydrate followers remove the banana and oats)

METHOD:  Add the oats, protein, super greens, chia seeds and water to a blender. Squeeze in the lime juice, throw in the banana, beetroot, blueberries, pepper then top with spinach. If you need to add more sweetness then use part pressed apple with the water. I prefer this just slightly sweet and veggie as it is.

Hope you enjoy!
