It's back! My most popular blog series first began with my Crockpot Recipes for the Busy Athlete, followed by 30 Minute Meals for the Busy Athlete, and Instant Pot Recipes for the Busy Athlete. This time, I'm sharing a new collection of simple, nutritious smoothie recipes to help you rehydrate, re-energize, and recover!
I’ve gathered 25 recipes thanks to fellow registered dietitians and food bloggers. These recipes require little effort and a blender to prepare.
