Cherry Smoothie Recipe
Fiber and Protein Combine to Make the Perfect Post-Run Smoothie
Smoothies — everybody seems to be drinking them these days, including Hollywood powerhouse Jennifer Aniston. She shared with us that she couldn't stop making this vegan treat — despite not being vegan herself — and for good reason: "It's basically like a milkshake," Jen says.
Full of fiber and protein, Jen's smoothie makes a great breakfast but an even better postworkout treat; it's full of ingredients like cherries and walnuts, which are known for having anti-inflammatory properties and soothing sore muscles.
