A 2021 meta-analysis found evidence that polyphenol-rich berries like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries can help with delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and muscle recovery (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34578866\/\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Berries are also high in fiber, low in calories, and rich in nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, magnesium, and fiber. Fiber is beneficial in a smoothie or shake because it helps the body absorb the nutrients steadily. This can help keep your blood sugar balanced while you\u2019re working out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Banana: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like berries, bananas have<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> easy-to-digest simple carbs and can power you up without weighing you down. They\u2019re also a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and potassium, a mineral that may help prevent muscle cramps.\u00a0 One-half a banana is all you need.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14895\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14895\" src=\"https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/onbetterliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Flora-Red-Beet-Crystals-2_BL-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Athletes have been turning to beets for energy for decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Beets are a natural source of nitrates. Nitrates get converted to nitric oxide in the body, a nutrient that supports our cardiovascular system and improves blood flow.\u00a0 And many studies show evidence they support athletic performance, which is why athletes love them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">While the full effect of the nitric oxide takes about 2 to 3 hours, beets and beet crystals also supply simple carbohydrates that muscles can use for a quick energy boost. They also continue to work in your body after your workout is over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beets contain important nutrients, including zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin C. They also contain powerful antioxidants like glutathione\u2014known as the \u201cmaster antioxidant\u201d\u2014and betalain, a phytonutrient that gives beets their vibrant red color. Both can help reduce oxidative stress on our tissues that is naturally caused by exercise. Some research suggests betalain can also fight exercise fatigue (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8565237\/\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Why use beet crystals over beets from the produce department? While we love fresh beets, they\u2019re messy. And they stain, well, everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">For this recipe, we\u2019re using Organic Red Beet Crystals from Flora, which are the best way to get the daily goodness of beets without the messiness of fresh ones. No mess, peeling, or chopping means you can easily incorporate the goodness of beets into your daily routine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florahealth.com\/products\/red-beet-crystals?variant=40145119215781\" class=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Organic Red Beet Crystals<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are made with the juice of fresh organic beets pressed within 2-3 hours of harvest.

Some feel like it also curbs their appetite.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s hard to find MCT\u2019s in high amounts in food alone, which is why taking them in a supplement is the best way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">MCT oil is colorless and flavorless which makes it easy to add to a smoothie.

Choose whatever works best with your body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">If you have protein powder and it\u2019s unflavored, you can add a \u00bd teaspoon of vanilla extract to the smoothie for that yummy vanilla flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Milk: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This recipe calls for unsweetened almond milk, but feel free to use any milk you like.
