January Week 4 - Stand Up Paddling and Recovery Shake

The week following our Akahai Half Marathon was a bit out of the norm. We did a nice 10k run on Tuesday and then a stand up paddle board session Wednesday. We were supposed to do a long bike run and run on Saturday but it was pretty rainy so we ran 9.3 miles instead. The bad weather continued into Sunday, so we opted for a Peloton indoor bike session instead of braving the outdoors.

Since the weather was fairly wet this week and we didn't do as much outdoor filming, we have included our favorite recovery shake post workout. We have one of these most days of the week following our workouts just to help replenish our bodies before a full meal.

Here are the ingredients for our recovery shake:

1/2 cup chopped jicama
1 tsp MCT oil
1 tbsp fresh chopped ginger or 1 tsp ginger powder
1 tbsp fresh chopped turmeric or 1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp Hawaiian Spirulina powder
1/2 cup organic unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut water
4-5 frozen strawberries & 1 frozen banana
or mix and match fruits with 1/2 cup frozen blueberries/cherries/raspberries/blackberries/acai or other frozen fruit.
1 handful of fresh baby spinach

Blend all of that up in a Nutribullet or other high speed blender and enjoy!
