Melissa’s Mean Green

No, Melissa is not Mean or Green!

Melissa from the early morning Epsom crew has created this delicious shake recipe to help her recovery from training. She is truly creative when it comes to recipes in her kitchen.

She’s kept in mind that her body needs healthy fats (avocado and flax seed). Her choice of  berries are the best to add high nutritional value by way of vitamins and minerals but also a very high in fiber content.  Melissa amped up the protein by adding UMP vanilla to it. You just have got to try this one!

Melissa’s Mean Green

• 1/2 avocado
• 1/2 c strawberries
• 1/2 c blueberries
• 1/2 c plain Greek yogurt
• 1 scoop of vanilla UMP
• 1 c water
• 1 Tablespoon of ground flax seed

Blend and enjoy!  Melissa has also tried this recipe using Mangos and peaches instead of strawberries and blueberries. I love how versatile this type of recipe can be.
