Postrun Smoothie: Maple Ricotta Cream

By courtneyepowell

Ricotta adds creamy richness and a dose of whey protein, which is quickly absorbed, making it ideal for recovery. Pear and banana supply carbs to replace spent energy stores.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 ripe pear
• 1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
• 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
• 2 tsp. pure maple syrup
