Smoothies and Juices for Marathoners, Endurance Athletes, Triathletes

As an athlete, nothing is better than a chilled glass of smoothie to fill you up. What you put in the smoothie is crucial. You need to have healthy ingredients which give you sustained prolonged energy which will result in your blood sugar levels being constant and insulin being used correctly. We don't want spikes in blood sugar level which can happen by consuming sugar based drinks or aerated drinks. They are like poison and just raise your blood sugar level up for the briefest of time.

For a healthier life style, follow our recipes given below and always see crucially what ingredients have been added to your smoothie. For your convenience we have given a table of what ingredients we have used for making smoothies and drinks. Once you see that its clear what is healthy.
