On Sunday morning I did a 7.5 mile run. Since I am just getting back into longer runs, I was pooped afterwards. But man did I feel good. the endorphins running through your body make me feel like I Can conquer the world. And i always like to have a smaller meal immediately after to refuel my body. Smoothies are usually my drink of choice. I saw this smoothie recipe in this month's Runner's World. It didn't sound THAT good (melon in a smoothie, is not my style). But it tasted incredible. I was shocked.
1 c. frozen diced mango
1/2 banana
1 c. canteloupe, diced
1/3 c. non fat milk
1 3/ c. non fat plain yogurt
Throw it all in a blender, and blend on high for just a minute or 2. And that is it. It is light, refreshing, nutritious! It held over my hunger for a couple of hours too. And then I satisfied myself with a huge taco salad from our local mexican restaurant (El Matador)
