Recovery Run Summer Juice

With summer fast approaching, and the weather heating up I’m finding I’m not wanting my normal post-run smoothie, which is milk based.

Having some leftover mango nectar while testing out an energy gel, I decided to also experiment with a juice based smoothie.

Then I thought about Boost Juice and was inspired by a tropical creation of pineapple and coconut.

Into the fridge, I go only to discover that the pineapple was sad.  The strawberries even sadder.

My only alternative was the frozen fruit I keep in the freezer.

That’s when I saw the frozen cherries and saw that there was hope.

The result was exactly what I needed & wanted.  Fresh and satisfying.

Next time I shall experiment with kiwi fruit and coconut water, maybe even tailwind!
