Hi guys
I was wondering if anyone has idea about what recovery, low-calorie powder/something to put in my post-run shake to improve my performance, gain more muscle, lose fat etc? My sister is a gym rat but her protein powders are hundreds of calories a pop
I love experimenting with fresh fruit and other ingredients in my shakes so I've gotten a little curious about what I could add to mine to improve my results without sacrificing my daily caloric intake or exacerbating my PCOS symptoms. My sister she's tried to educate me on ketosis etc but that stuff is way beyond my comprehension and she's always been underweight so we come from different places.
Currently, I'm on the treadmill for 6-7 days a week for around 30 minutes (longer or shorter depending on what my app tells me). This is usually what goes in my shakes...
Ice
1 cup Almond Breeze
1/2 cup frozen berries
1/4 cucumber
A few spinach leaves
1/2 banana
1 tsp psyllium husk (I have a screwy digestive system)
1 tsp green tea extract (I dunno, I just had it lying around so why not)
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Edit: Sorry about this post being miscategorized. The whole running=post-workout shake connection made sense in my head so I just stuck it in the workout section
