Post-Workout Refueler Energy Smoothie



This is an excellent refueling smoothie perfect for restoring energy after any activity. Almonds' protein helps build and repair muscle. Plus, the potassium (twice as much as you get in two bananas) balances your electrolytes and fluids.

Ingredients:
2 medium oranges (10 ounces total), peeled and cut into chunks
1/4 cup whole, raw almonds
1 small sweet potato (about 4 ounces), scrubbed and coarsely chopped
1 medium apple (8 ounces), cored and cubed
1/2 cup water

Directions:
1. In a blender, combine oranges, almonds, sweet potato, apple, and water
2. Blend, scraping down sides occasionally, until smooth.
3. Strain juice and, if desired, thin with additional water. Refrigerate up to 2 days (shake before serving). Enjoy!
