Recipe News: Blueberry-Pomegranate Protein Smoothie

"Sports drinks can be so much more — and so much healthier — than those brightly colored, sugar drinks sold alongside the sodas.

Those drinks are fine for hydration, which is essential for a healthy workout. But when you've just finished exerting yourself, what your body really craves is a good jolt of carbohydrates and protein, and a protein shake is a delicious and satisfying way to get it.

Carbohydrates replenish your supply of glycogen, which is the fuel stored in your muscles that powers physical activity. Protein helps your body repair muscles after strenuous exercise."

Includes recipe for:

• Blueberry-Pomegranate Protein Smoothie
