Homemade Recovery Drinks

I put these together for some athletes I worked with recently. These can be used as a breakfast drink on the go, for recovery after training/exercise or as a mid afternoon snack.  

INSTRUCTIONS:

Combine ingredients in a blender and mix for 30-60 seconds.

Skimmed Milk Powder can be replaced with a good quality whey protein powder to further increase protein content.
