From Runner’s World:
Blueberry Smoothie Cups
Want a recovery shake but don't feel like pulling out a ton
of ingredients? Keep these smoothie cups in your freezer. They contain
everything that your body needs postrun—just blend one or two with your liquid
of choice. Feeling adventurous? Make them with tangy goat's milk, which
contains more heart-healthy omega-3 fats than cow's milk. It's also a good
source of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. "These minerals work
together to improve bone strength," says Tara Gidus, M.S., R.D., a sports
dietitian and marathoner. Ricotta cheese is rich in whey protein (ideal for
recovery), while blueberries fend off inflammation.
Cool Down: In a blender, combine 2 cups milk, 2 cups blueberries, 1 cup ricotta, ½ cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup almond butter, 2 tablespoons molasses, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Blend till smooth. Pour into a 12-cup muffin pan and freeze. Unmold cups, place in a bag, and store in the freezer. To make a smoothie, blend 2 chopped smoothie cups with 1 cup milk.
