SMOOTHIE 1: BANANA SPINACH & OAT SMOOTHIE
This healthy recipe comes from Becky at @becky_marathonhealthandfitness on Instagram. Becky makes this smoothie as a post-run shake and says it’s so delicious, it is almost like a dessert (but a healthy one)!
Becky finds that this shake gives her energy after her long runs and kept her full for longer and with adding in some GF Oats, it is even more filling, its the perfect thing to have after a workout when you don’t want a full meal. We have tried it out and it’s definitely been popular in the GF Oats Kitchen.
