This smoothie may taste like candy, but it’s actually a perfectly balanced pre or post-workout drink. Bananas provide the potassium and good carbohydrates to give you a burst of energy before hitting the gym, or to help rehydrate and keep muscle cramps at bay afterward. Peanut butter is a great source of fat and protein, two things your body craves after working hard, and cacao has magnesium, which helps with muscle fatigue and healing. Spinach rounds everything out with a dose of vitamin K, essential to bone health, and more hydrating potassium.
Put all the ingredients in a blender and whizz until completely smooth. If it’s a little thick, add a drop of chilled water then blitz again.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass to serve.
