High-Protein Post-Workout Recovery Shake
Research shows women over 40 need strategic post-workout nutrition to combat age-related muscle loss. This AI-curated recovery shake delivers 35g of highly bioavailable protein using Genepro's Ingredient Optimized® technology, proven to maximize muscle protein synthesis after resistance training.
Why This Recovery Shake Works
Clinical studies demonstrate that protein timing matters, especially for aging women. This shake combines fast-absorbing protein with antioxidant-rich berries and healthy fats to reduce inflammation and support muscle repair. With Genepro's 99.9% absorption rate, your body actually uses nearly all the protein you consume.
Ingredients
- 3 scoops Genepro protein powder (33g protein)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup ice
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add almond milk to blender first to prevent sticking.
- Add frozen berries, banana, and Genepro powder. The unflavored formula won't compete with the natural berry taste.
- Add almond butter and chia seeds for healthy fats that slow digestion and extend amino acid delivery.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Add ice and pulse 2-3 times for desired thickness.
- Pour into a large glass and consume within 30-60 minutes post-workout for optimal muscle protein synthesis.
