Looking for a quick pick me up, try a banana smoothie. The banana has long been favored by both exercisers and athletes as a source of energy. Combined into a smoothie you get a tasty drink that both hydrates and gives a natural energy boost.
Bananas are an almost ideal fruit. They contain three natural sugars to give you maximum energy. They are also one of the few fruits that contain both complex and simple carbohydrates. Complex carbs give you endurance energy and simple carbs give you quick energy.
And, this is a smoothie after all, they taste great. They are also very complimentary with other fruit flavors, such as raspberry and strawberry making for a variety of smoothies.
So whether it’s a great way to start the day, a quick hydration right before a workout or just because . . . enjoy, you deserve it.
