Try this natural oat-standing recovery shake recipe to boost your body after a workout. It was specially created by DW Fitness Clubs’ nutrition expert Carly Tierney to pack a protein punch.
It’s made with almond milk, which is low in calories and is a great source of calcium. One cup will provide half of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin E – an antioxidant that boosts heart function and helps prevent cancer.
This shake is also packed with other essentials – the banana offers a wealth of potassium while the oats work hard to lower blood pressure levels, and the flaxseeds and date go a long way in reaching your recommended-daily fibre intake.
