It has been raining a lot this week in San Francisco, so I haven’t been able to run at all. The most recent post-workout drink I have been hooked on lately (minus the whipped cream…usually ;)) is the cocoa almond butter smoothie, made with bananas, cocoa, almond butter, milk and honey. It is such a yummy treat after working out! I just love almond butter. Don’t forget to freeze the banana slices ahead of time!
Last weekend we were skiing in Lake Tahoe, and on Sunday we woke up to many inches of fresh new snow:
Of course we woke up really early to take advantage of the new snow on the slopes!
OK, so what is your favorite post-workout drink/snack/meal?? I need some more ideas! 🙂

this is something i do as well..sometimes i dont add milk and eat it like a pudding. Also, if you freeze the banana slices, it becomes like a soft soft icecream. I hope the weather gets better this weekend.
I make something similar and it always comes out so good! Lately I’ve been obsessed with almond butter 🙂
I love smoothies post-workout! This flavor combo has my name alllll over it!
Thanks Kelli!
I usually like nuts or a raw vegan dessert ball from the freezer for a post workout snack.
Mmmm love almond butter in smoothies, and plain!
This post-workout smoothie looks amazing! I heart almond butter! I’ll give this a try tomorrow! Pinned!
Ps- beautiful pic of Lake Tahoe!
YES! The smoothie is (almost :P) enough to motivate me to work out! I love almond butter too and chocolate and bananas! YUM!
