Cooking time

Prep time

This bright-hued smoothie is not only pretty to look at but is the perfect concoction of post-workout recovery nutrients. Using sweetpotato as the base for complex carbohydrates, it also uses frozen mango chunks for some extra Vitamin A. It’s naturally sweetened with beets and maple syrup and gets its creaminess (and protein!) from the Greek yogurt. You’re getting the perfect 4:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, with a hefty dose of antioxidants and electrolytes as well. This smoothie can be eaten as a meal or split in half as a snack.
