Natalie Seymour's Post-Training Recovery Smoothie

Looking for some new fast and healthy post training recovery fuel ideas? Triathlete Natalie Seymour shares one of her favourites that tastes great, is good for you and is going to help you recover faster!

WHEN

I have just been out for a one hour run. The session was a short warm up, followed by 45 minutes of zone three running, with some 1 minute and 90 second "pick ups", followed by a short cool down. I headed out after my morning coffee, so I am really ready for my smoothie by the time I get back home. After a drink of water, it's the first thing I do. It's always important to get some nutrition in as soon as possible after a workout, particularly as I have a 5kim swim set this afternoon!

WHY

A smoothie tastes good and is easy to digest after a training session and is quick to make and good on the go. This is ideal for busy days. I can pack in lots of fruit and vegetables, which means that it is a quick nutrient fix too. I always try to balance the carbohydrates and protein by using my Etixx recovery powder. This balances the fruit, is excellent for muscle recovery and gives a nice thick texture. By adding cinnamon you add flavour and a spice that is good for the digestion.

WHAT

Smoothies are fun and easy to make. I always play around with what goes into my smoothie and often it can depend on what is in the fridge... Butthis is one of my favourites and the key components rarely change.

How to measure yourself

For best results, take your measurements with no clothing on

Place the measuring tape over the widest part of your chest.

Hold one end of the measuring tape in place and circle your chest, keeping the tape straight, until the tape reaches your starting point.

Get a book, a hand mirror and a pencil.

Take off your shoes and anything you wear on your head.

Look for a level surface to stand on with a smooth wall behind you.

Stand in front of the wall with your feet together.

Balance the book on your head and press it against the wall. Use the mirror to check that it is in a horizontal position and well centered. Mark the position of the top of your head on the wall with pencil.

Once the mark is made, step away and use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the ground to the mark you just made with pencil.

Step on the scale, without clothes or accessories, and write down your weight.
