Why eat it:
If the fact that it tastes like a chocolate milkshake isn’t enough, eat it for its nutrient density and superfoods. You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from the quick cellular repair, muscle recovery and antioxidants provided by maca, goji berries and cacao. If you don’t have coconut nectar, agave or maple syrup will do. Or just leave it out.
For athletes:
The 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein make this smoothie perfect for immediate post-workout recovery. Also, it tastes like a milkshake – this bears repeating.
