Recovery Shake Cherry Coconut
Research on marathon runners has shown that drinking tart cherry juice can help reduce postrun muscle soreness. If the juice is too tart for your taste, try it in a smoothie like this one, which also uses sweeter fruits like strawberries. Coconut water—the clear liquid found inside coconuts— contains none of the fat found in coconut milk and adds a tangy, light, almond like flavor.
