A post-workout smoothie is always a must after a session at the gym. However, there will be days when it’ll be hard enough to wake up early just to get to the gym on some days and spending time poring over which smoothie and which ingredients you need for your post-workout smoothie will make it even worse. However, what can you do? A post-gym protein smoothie is a must, not only to refresh and hydrate you but to make sure your muscles are well-protected from breakdown.
