After-Sweat Smoothie

Last spring, after one of the most stressful Fridays of my working career, I needed some time to myself to decompress. I went to an evening yoga class at a local studio where I literally sweat all the stress and negative energy out of my mind and body. Often, after an intense workout, I don’t have much of an appetite for anything but a refreshing beverage. My refrigerator was vacant of any such liquid but I had a few ingredient s that I tossed into the blender and created what turned out to be the best smoothie I’ve ever slurped through a straw. It’s hard to foil a smoothie and often you’ll stumble upon a really tasty combination. Next time you return from an athletic endeavor, skip the junk food and toss some fruit and yogurt in a blender. 

Yields: 2 servings

4 scoops mango sorbet
2 ripe bananas, cut in fourths
1 C fresh blueberries
6 oz (1 container) nonfat honey-flavored Greek yogurt

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Garnish each smoothie with a few blueberries and serve with a straw.
