Great Workout and Post Workout Fuel

Lets just start with this:

Maybe I should have done the photo shoot before my run but the point I'm trying to get across is that if you are a runner these are a must have! I have had them since January and I have no clue why I have never tried them out. I'm in love. They are warm and so freakin comfortable! Yay for me considering in a couple days the weather will be in the 80s. Well now I know, right!


I just ran 5 miles and feel like I could run another 8 right now, wanna know how the heck I have all this energy?  The reason I feel like I have consumed a pot of coffee is because I had a great post workout shake. I also made one for my husband to try to keep him around for a couple more years, ha ha. Anyways since he did not work out I just made him a simple Green Shake:

1/2 C coconut milk

2 coconut ice cubes

1 banana (frozen)

1 tsp agave nectar

1 TBS flax seed

1 C spinach

All you do is through all that in a blender and you have an instant healthy energy drink. To my shake I did all the same but added a tablespoon of peanut butter for some added protein. You need to try one of these Shakes you will be impressed!

Flax Seed

Now I can't tell you how drinking this shake has improved my workout or tomorrows energy level I will have to get back to you, but what I can tell you is that for my last couple workouts I have been eating good sources of carbs and proteins (4:1 ratio) immediately after my workouts and I have been feeling amazing, lots of energy! I also just feel lighter. I really can't even feel the 8 miles I ran, those 40 burpees, 300 sit-ups and 40 push ups I did yesterday at all, no joke.
