#1: Light of wrist
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of watermelon with cubes (frozen preferred, see note)
- Juice ½ lime (about: 1-1½ tablespoons of soup)
- ½ cup of coconut water
- Sting
- Optional: 5-6 fresh mint leaves
Quick preparation:
Combine everything until smooth and soiled. Press and enjoy immediately!
Note:
The frozen watermelon gives it this frozen texture. If you use fresh, just fly into a handful of ice!
Why does your body need this:
Watermelon is moisturizing disguised as a dessert. It is over 90 percent of potassium water, and helps to restore fluid balance after sweat. Lime adds vitamin C support and metabolism. This salt sting? Replaces sodium lost during workouts, keeping your muscles and nerves properly. The mint just makes you feel like you are on vacation, even if you stand in your kitchen with a blender.
#2: DIP AVOCADO RECOVERY BUCUME (no dairy products)
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ cucumber, finely grated or chopped
- Juice ½ lemon
- Dash of sea salt
Quick preparation:
Put the avocado and mix with cucumber, lemon juice and salt. (Pulse selection in the blender). Serve with raw vegetables, rice crackers or just a spoon. Without judgment.
Why does your body need this:
Avocados give you healthy fats and potassium, both critical for recovery after training and muscle function. The cucumber moisturizes from the inside out. Lemon supports digestion and helps your body absorb nutrients better. In addition, when it is too hot to cook, this is essentially your green light to eat guac for dinner, but with additional benefits.
#3: Coconut Chia Pudding (2 Ways)
Moisturizing or forgiving? You choose the texture.
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unknown coconut water (For a lighter, moisturizing version;
OR - ¾ cup non -sugar coconut milk (For a more creamy, more declining texture;
- 3 tablespoons of chia seeds
- Optional coatings: berries, banana slices or sprinkle coconut flakes
Quick preparation:
Mix the chia seeds in your choice liquid – use coconut water for a light, refreshing taste or coconut milk for a more creamy, decadent texture. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes, stir again, then cool for at least 2 hours (or one day to the other) until thick and pudding. Enjoy frozen and top with fruits, banana slices or honey for extra flavor.
Why does your body need this:
Chia seeds absorb liquid and help the body to maintain more hydration. They also provide omega-3s, fibers and vegetable protein in a bite. Coconut water is the electrolyte drink of nature without additional sugars and no neon sports bottles are required. This pudding cools you, recovery fuel and really leaves you satisfied instead of sluggish.
Cool and fueled…
Summer is not the time to overload diet. It’s time to become smart, stay cool and feed in a way that works with your training – not against him. These three recipes are simple, refreshing and ready for recovery with ingredients that your body will love.
Stay cool. Stay fed. Continue to move.
