Why this is good for you


This smoothie contains all 8 essential amino acids, the building blocks for protein. The banana provides an incredible source of slow-release energy, as well as being rich in potassium. This helps promote muscle and nerve function as well as controlling blood pressure.  The celery will help flush the body of excessive carbon dioxide and replace lost sodium, whilst the cucumber is cooling and excellent for rejuvenating muscles.

Drink 30-45 minutes after a weight session, and this powerful smoothie will help to repair the muscle and built muscle tone.
