With the warmer weather getting started, the urge to amp up the activity level seems to get less easy to ignore by the day, especially when the sun is blazing outside it's even more of a butt kick to get on an active tip. Besides, catching rays while you get your sweat can be a sweet deal ya know.

So when it comes to hitting the finish line, any workout enthusiast or even those who have dabbled in the exercise knows that post-workout nutrition is of premium importance: not just because the hunger signals are screaming at you after being active, but because any kind of activity essentially breaks down the body, so that it can rebuild itself even stronger than before. (like move over rocky style)

It makes sense that if we fuel it up properly after a workout, we’re giving the body the tools it needs to construct the strongest and healthiest machine possible.

While a slice o pizza may not make this “fuel up properly” cut, a delicious superfood smoothie certainly does.
