Jen and Brian prepare Jen's favorite pre-workout smoothie in the first of our series on how to utilize the convenience of smoothies to train better and recover faster.
This quick and easy recipe is great before and after workouts when you want all the carbs and protein to fuel up for a big day or recover from one without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
We've posted a few Beta Red recipes, but this one from Erin Weber is our new favorite. The addition of protein makes it a great post-workout recovery meal after a strenuous workout. The combination of beet juice, amino acids, and protein make it great following cycling, triathlon, trail running, mountain biking, or whatever other training you prefer.
We're looking forward to trying Heidi Coulter's Beta Red Apple Yum with Greek yogurt (for protein) as a post-workout refueling treat. This recipe was submitted to our How Did You Make That? Contest. There's still time to send us your favorite recipes with Beta Red or Enduro Bites. We’ve had some great combinations and we want to see what you have up your sleeve. Have a special Beta Red or Enduro Bites recipe that you've come up with for pre-workout? Or maybe something to fuel day-long adventures or races? How about a killer post-workout treat? Whatever it is, We want to know. The best entry gets a sweet Enduro Bites / Beta Red prize package.
