We have 3 essential smoothie recipes for triathletes and even if you are not exercising at that level, you can still enjoy them. They are: a pre-workout smoothie; a recovery smoothie; and a nutrient-dense smoothie to fill you with healthy protein to help you avoid the packaged sports foods.
The recipes are from Pip Taylor, a nutritionist and professional triathlete, writing at the Ironman website. Pip says …

These might be great for race day and for key workouts, but getting a substantial proportion of your daily calories from sports drinks, gels and chews is less than ideal and will leave you lacking in the nutrient department.

Green vegetables (with a little fruit to sweeten) are a convenient way to boost your nutrient intake.
