Jen and Brian prepare Jen's favorite pre-workout smoothie in the first of our series on how to utilize the convenience of smoothies to train better and recover faster. 

We've posted a few Beta Red recipes, but this one from Erin Weber is our new favorite. The addition of protein makes it a great post-workout recovery meal after a strenuous workout. The combination of beet juice, amino acids, and protein make it great following cycling, triathlon, trail running, mountain biking, or whatever other training you prefer.

Thanks to Amity Warme for this delicious Pumpkin Buckwheat Gingerbread recipe. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, low-sugar, and makes for a great pre-, during, and post-workout snack to fuel training and power recovery.

This simple Banana Bread Granola recipe is so easy to prepare that even a first-time home cook can breeze through it with minimal stress. It involves combining ingredients in two steps, forming clumps, baking, and stirring. Easy peasy. It’s great pre-workout, post-workout, and as a healthy snack alternative.

This quick and easy recipe is great before and after workouts when you want all the carbs and protein to fuel up for a big day or recover from one without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
