I have a fall back drink that is my favorite meal replacement that I use when I'm feeling short on time, need a reliable energy boost or just want to feel healthier. This smoothie has gotten me thru 50 mile cycling training rides. I have placed a single portion recipe below but for very high activity pre-workout needs - double the recipe. High activity would be moderate effort for more than 90 minutes or high impact foran hour or more.
RECIPE
6 fluid ounces plain yogurt
2 tablespoons flax seed
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 each ripe pear
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ounce watercress or upland cress
Extra water if needed
Combine the watercress, lemon juice and pear in the blender and blend untill smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend untill smooth. This smoothie stores well for up to 2 or 3 days.
