Chocolate Protein Shake Recovery Drink

Sometimes after a run or workout you get that nauseous feeling like you can’t face a meal. But it’s essential we get nutrients into the body to help the repair and recovery process.

Especially important we refuel carbohydrates and protein within an hour of our run for optimal muscle repair.

An easy way to get nutrients in without having to face a big meal would be to have a protein shake as a post run post workout refuel within 60 minutes.

This simple recipe is too quick, and very tasty there’s no excuses for not refuelling right!
