Smoothie recipe for runners

I found a great website that provides you with their Superfood Smoothie Recipes that are amazing! Bonum, the creator of the recipes, also has a very informational blog available on his website. He himself is an endurance runner and knows the needs of all athletes. He created these recipes to provide athletes the nutrition they need for energy and recovery. They are so easy to make and they are delicious! I have tried many of his great recipes and they have exceeded my expectations. A fruit shake he provides is best for after your workout for an easy recovery. One of my favorites contains the following ingredients: 3-6 ripe bananas, aloe vera, un sweetened soy milk, ground chia seeds, flaxseed, blueberries, papaya, and pineapple. All of these ingredients are beneficial for an athlete, especially a runner! I know the aloe vera may seem strange, but it is a natural diuretic that helps your body run smoothly and naturally. Only use a tablespoon because it is a bit strong; no worries though because the other ingredients will make it very yummy. The main importance of the unsweetened soy milk is to liquify the other ingredients for a smooth shake. Ground chia seeds are some what uncommon but it is extremely important for superior hydration and absorption. It slows down the absorption of carbohydrates which is great for diabetics. Bonum has created many great recipes and I highly recommend you trying his products. Here is a link to the website where you can also find a link to his blog:
