Before you hit the gym, sip this!

Shake of the Month! From Oxygen Magazine... seemed like an easy recipe so I tried it out & love it! :)

Lemon Plum Blast
ready in 5 minutes; makes 1 serving
2 small pitted plums
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/4 cup water
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 
                                                    ice cubes

Place ingredients in a blender & blend thouroughly! :)

Benefits?
Yogurt can help prevent cramping during exercise
Whey protein powder increases your changes of building more calorie-scorching lean muscle because it contains essential amino acids leucine, which is key to muscle recovery, growth & repair.
Plums are in their peak season right now, & they deliver energy boosting carbs and vitamin C to help stop muscle soreness.

For best results drink this shake 45 minutes before an hour-long workout. :)

Enjoy!
