Well there was certainly some controversy over my blog post in regards to GH And What Not To Eat After Exercising!
Some of you contacted me and wanted to know what I have as my post exercise protein shake…
I have to admit, there are times when I choose to have more carbs, depending on how I feel physically and mentally. I listen to what my body is telling me.
Here’s my own post exercise protein shake recipe…
This is my everyday protein shake. Even if it’s my “day off” training I still have it.
Phyto-Protein is extracted from Golden Peas. I use the flavourless option.
Vital Greens is a nutrient and enzyme-rich, complete "Superfood" which contains 76 nutrients
a. 25 grams protein (I use an organic protein powder called Phyto-Protein – see photo)
b. 1 heaped tablespoon of Vital Greens (supplement powder)
c. 200mls skim milk
d. ½ cup frozen blue berries
e. 100 mls water (from the water purifier)
I bung the lot into the blender and that’s it!
Note… the following banana option for me is more of a “once in a while” occasion. When I’ve been an absolute ratbag and accidentally skipped a meal and my blood sugar feels like it’s hit rock bottom. I’ll either add 1 small banana (those little baby ones) or half a banana – if it’s a large one, to the above shake.
I actually look forward to having it each day.
IMPORTANT: I’m NOT an affiliate for these products! I just use them because I like them and they’re not filled with junky fillers and other “nasties” that some supplements contain.
So there you go… that’s my own post exercise protein shake. 
Kind regards

I received a few questions in regards to the above shake…
Here’s the answers to them:
1. If you prefer NOT to have skim milk (or any milk in general) you can use fresh squeezed fruit juice – using fruit that’s high in antioxidants. When I use this option I water the juice down (dilute it) with some water (from the water purifier) – so the shake isn’t too thick and gluggy – and so it doesn’t taste too sweet.
So that’s organic protein powder Phyto-Protein, small amount of fresh squeezed juice from high antioxidant fruit, water and Vital Greens (supplement powder)
2. Vital Greens powder is high in antioxidants so if you don’t want to use fruit in it – but you don’t like flavourless protein powder – and I’m pretty sure phyto protein comes in vanilla and chocolate as well. So that’s another option for you.
3. Organic Flaxseed powder is in the Vital Greens powder
4. Phyto-Protein is HACCP Certified Organic, 100% Vegetable Origin, 88% Bio-Available Protein… that’s a quote from their website – not from me.
Kind regards
