Katie's Post-Run Golden Milk Protein Smoothie

You've done the hard part. Now give your body something that actually helps it recover.

This golden milk protein smoothie is Katie Martin's go-to post-run recipe, and you can whip it up in just five minutes, no cooking, no fuss.

Turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon all have well-documented anti-inflammatory properties, the protein powder helps satisfy your appetite and kick-start muscle repair, and the frozen banana gives you back some of the carbohydrates your body used on your run.
