Homemade Recovery Drink
My first attempt at a homemade recovery drink, based on some initial research on what ingredients should be used.
- 8oz buttermilk
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup berries
- 1/2 Tsp Morton Lite Salt
- Honey to taste, as a sweetener
Add ingredients to blender, liquefy.
What’s the deal with the lite salt, you ask? Lite salt is 50% sodium chloride and 50% potassium chloride. It’s marketed for people who are trying to reduce sodium in their diet. It has the upside of providing extra potassium which is an important electrolyte to replenish after exercise.
It’s pretty good! Has a nice, thick consistancy. If you’ve never had buttermilk, you should try it. It’s more substantial than regular milk, and tastes like plain yogurt.
