With the weather getting warmer, that can make fueling up after workouts a bit more challenging because you need more hydration along with calories. A simple way to accomplish that is to mix up some of your favorite ingredients in the blender, then just sip away. Not only does the post workout smoothie taste good, but if your workout was a hot one, a cold beverage really hits the spot. Just watch out for the brain freeze if you drink it too fast!
