This is what I drink after my workouts to reduce inflammation, replenish minerals, support muscle recovery, and keep my energy stable.
Recipe (32oz)
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tsp maca
- 1/2 tsp blue magik
- Blend until smooth
Why Each Ingredient Is There
Coconut water
→ Natural electrolytes for hydration, muscle function, and recovery
Almond milk (or milk of choice)
→ Adds creaminess + supports hydration and mineral balance
Blueberries + raspberries
→ Extremely high in antioxidants
→ Help reduce exercise-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and support recovery
Avocado
→ Source of healthy fats for hormone balance, satiety, and stable energy
→ Helps absorb fat-soluble nutrients and keeps blood sugar steady
Protein powder
→ Provides amino acids for muscle repair, recovery, and strength building
→ Essential post-workout to prevent muscle breakdown and support lean mass
Maca
→ Adaptogen that supports energy, endurance, and stress resilience
Blue Magik (spirulina extract)
→ Powerful anti-inflammatory + antioxidant
→ Supports cellular recovery, reduces oxidative stress, and boosts nutrient density
Why This Is the Perfect Post-Workout Combo
After a workout your body needs:
✔ Protein → to rebuild muscle
✔ Antioxidants → to reduce inflammation and speed recovery
✔ Healthy fats → to stabilize blood sugar and support hormones
✔ Minerals + hydration → to replenish what you lost through sweat
This smoothie hits all four.
It’s not just fuel.
It’s recovery, regulation, and longevity in a glass.
