Lean and Green Protein Smoothie

Lean and Green Protein Smoothie

A green smoothie is a delicious way to sneak in an extra serving of leafy green veggies. Add spinach to your shake and you won't even taste it!  I usually enjoy a protein shake as the perfect post-workout meal. It is an easy, tasty way to replenish those carbs and get in the muscle recovery protein after a workout. Enjoy within 30 minutes after your workout for best results.

Foam rolling, known as self-myofascial release, is a technique that uses gentle pressure to break up the knots within the muscle and helps release muscular tension or tightness. Foam rolling is a form of self massage.
