You know that feeling after you've been in beast mode at the gym — when you push yourself to the limit, sweat like you were caught in a rainstorm, or lift heavier weights than ever before? Yeah, that feeling is called hunger.
But instead of having an empty-calorie snack that'll just leave you hungry again five minutes later, pull together a quick, healthy smoothie to wash away your post-workout lack of fuel. With only a few ingredients, you can vary flavors so that you won't get bored too quickly, and you can even tailor smoothies to the specific needs of your muscles. Muscle cramps after a workout? Add a banana! Is your sweet tooth acting up? Add in some berries!
