Muscle-building berry banana mint smoothie
Minty fresh muscle

The vitamins and fatty acids in this drink will maximise the effect of your workouts

What's in it?
200g frozen berries
1 large banana
2-3 fresh mint leaves
200ml unsweetened apple juice

Why it works
Berries are low in fat, low GI for steady energy release, and rich in phytochemicals that quash cell-damaging free radicals. Bananas and apples are stuffed with vitamin C, which helps your muscles recover quicker after the gym. Mint contains omega 3 fatty acids, which help your body process protein and prevent muscle deterioration.
