Green Tea Protein Shake

 

Whey for muscle.  For optimal results, drink half of this shake before your workout and save the other half for afterwards.

 

Go Green.  Catechins in green tea have been shown to dilate your arterial lining just 15 minutes after drinking!  Improved vascular function allows your body to better reload your muscle cells with the fuel it needs immediately for muscle-building-energy.

 

Flex with Flax.  Omega -3 essential fatty acids, found in flaxseed, help minimize potential muscle soreness brought on by postworkout inflammation.
