Sumo verde

Estar tão em baixo de forma faz-me pensar que tenho de mudar algumas coisas em termos de nutrição, e tenho de lhe dar forte nas vitaminas e minerais para aguentar os treinos.

Esta semana vou experimentar fazer um sumo verde, aproveitando que comprei espinafres e tudo :) ficam aqui algumas ideias :)

E fiquei a saber agora que ao que parece o sumo verde é um trend no fitness para 2014

3-4 tbs hemp seeds or half an avocado

(*Smoothies with cacao need some fat, need to be sweet, and salt helps to bring out the flavor.)
