Strawberry Banana Milkshake

Recently, I read an article in the health and fitness niche on the importance of having a good easy-to-digest carb food immediately after a workout session, in order to build muscles. And bananas fit the bill and was specifically mentioned.

Apparently, if you do not eat a fast-digesting carb like bananas, your muscle tissues will break down to fulfill the energy required by your body, post a good workout.

I remembered thinking to myself – what a good way to start the day with a workout session followed by a banana milkshake. Well, we do need plenty of liquid after a tiring workout, right?

After reviewing all the milkshake recipes I had, I settled on a strawberry banana one as strawberries are in season right now. Furthermore, the combination of both strawberries and banana seemed to give the taste bud a packing punch.

Here is my recipe:

Strawberry Banana Milkshake

2 bananas
1 box frozen strawberries, partially thawed
2 cups milk
2 pints Strawberry yogurt (for the creamier version, use strawberry ice cream instead)

Directions

Combine sliced bananas, strawberries, milk and 1 pint of the yogurt in blender. You may need to use a large blender, as the whizzing action may splash some out if the container is too small. If not, blend in batches.
Blend until smooth. Top with scoop of remaining yogurt.

To your toned muscles!
