After her workout, Kourtney wants to help her muscles recover from physical strain and give her digestive system a healthy boost, and this smoothie helps take care of both:

Kourtney’s banana and bone broth smoothie

The purpose behind each ingredient

Each ingredient in Kourtney’s smoothie plays a key role. For example, banana helps the body replenish energy thanks to its carbohydrates, potassium and hydrate, while bone broth provides protein to help muscles to recover faster.

BrainOn from E3Live is an energy-boosting superfood to help improve your mood and increase clarity and focus. MCT Oil, derived entirely from coconut oil, is included to help your body achieve ketosis, a metabolic state that helps your body burn fat.

If you want to start drinking smoothies to recover from your daily workouts. Here are a few other options for you to try, in a variety of flavors, but all based around bananas.

Spinach smoothie

• One handful fresh spinach
• 1 cup almond or coconut milk
• One banana (frozen, if you want it creamier)
• One green apple
• Juice of one lemon
• Ice cubes

What are the benefits? The spinach helps oxygenate the blood and improve athletic performance, since it’s rich in chlorophyll. The apple and lemon help clear toxins from the body and speed up fat-burning.

Peanut butter smoothie

We know that nuts are a great workout food since they provide protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids, so a sweet and nutritious peanut butter smoothie is another great option:

• 1 heaping spoon of organic peanut butter
• One banana
• 1/2 carrot
• 1/2 celery stick
• Soy milk
• Ginger
• Ice cubes

One of the benefits of peanuts is that they contain resveratrol, a fantastic antioxidant for cells. The vitamins in this smoothie come from the carrot, rich in vitamin A and C, while the ginger and celery are great for reducing muscle pain after a workout, thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties.
