For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
This recipe offers a balance of macronutrients, providing a mix of complex carbohydrates from oats, which help to provide a sustained release of energy throughout the day. The protein from milk, peanut butter, and Greek yoghurt aids in muscle growth and recovery post-exercise.
Health Benefits
The berries contribute antioxidants, promoting immune and brain health, whilst also reducing inflammation. Potassium from the banana is involved in the contraction of muscles, including the heart. It helps ensure proper muscle function and prevents muscle weakness and cramps. It is also involved in nervous system functioning and in maintaining the balance of fluids inside and outside of our cells, which is essential for normal cell function and overall hydration.
