Strawberry and watermelon recovery smoothie

This refreshing strawberry and watermelon smoothie is the perfect recovery drink after a hard workout.

It’s a great way to quickly replenish glycogen and protein to your muscles without eating a big meal.

The watermelon may also help with DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) which could be handy if you’ve pushed yourself a bit harder than normal.

I think smoothies are great post-workout nutrition, because they’re a quick and easy way to replenish nutrients to your body.

You can also eat something with your smoothie, like a hard boiled egg or a handful of nuts for some extra protein. Or when a drink isn’t enough to completely satisfy your hunger.

You’ll find plenty more simple, flavour-packed recipes here on my blog that work beautifully for post-menopausal bodies.

If you haven’t already, I recommend grabbing a copy of my free Post-Menopause Breakfast Makeover.

Your body responds differently now to food, stress, sleep and movement, so the old “just eat less” rules don’t work anymore.

The Makeover Guide shows you how to build satisfying breakfasts that support your post-menopausal body, for sustainable weight loss.
