Whether it’s to help waken you in the morning or to give you a boost when you flag in the afternoon, this espresso smoothie from Gina at RunningToTheKitchen will do the trick. (See the recipe details at the end of the post.) There’s superfood goodness in the chocolate, healthy fats in the coconut butter and protein in the coconut milk – a good combination for a nutritious smoothie.
Gina points out that …
Cocoa flavanols are naturally found in cocoa beans and can help support your cardiovascular system and exercise performance. I’ll take both of those for crossfit workouts, please.
