1 banana

1/2 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh)

1 teaspoon of almond butter (I use organic)

1/4 cup of Protein (I use Red Mills)

Put all ingredients into a blend and blend. I drink this twice a week.

Take time to relax. Enjoy a hot bath in jetted tub or hot tub. Get a massaging neck pillow to relieve any neck pain. Soak away tiredness. The hot water in the tub dilates or opens up your blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow to your muscles. When the water push out from the jetted nozzles it is just the right pressure of water and air kneading and relaxing your muscles.
