I’ll admit it – I’m in my off season. So although I’m still following the “eat2run” guidelines… I might not be doing so as ‘hardcore’ as when I’m in full on training mode. So no, there’s no tart cherry juice in this post-run recovery shake (however, I did drink a glass separately later haha!) – but there is the yummy superfood CACAO in there! Anyway, WOW this shake tastes like the delicious creamy chocolate milk shakes I remember from 20 years ago… Only better 😉 Give it a try for a special post-run treat!
