My Post-Spin Pina-Kale-Ada Smoothie




Last Friday, I was lucky enough to join forces with the Popcycle team on their Sweaty Betty Live DJ Ride, providing all the post-workout goodies to all the sweaty ladies who absolutely killed it on the spin bike. 

And just in case you’re thinking it was a cool, laid back way to spend your Friday evening, it’s not. 

This high energy class is definitely not for the faint hearted. A 90-minute spin class of hill climbs, sprints and a few upper body weights (thrown in for good measure, just to ensure you’re unable to move the next day), all to live DJ Georga’s deep house, old school hip hop and EDM set. 

But was it an amazing way to spend a Friday night? Was it ever. Why go clubbing when you can get all hot and sweaty on a spin bike?

Check out the Popcycle website for more information on their spin classes and upcoming events if you live in the Kent area!


To refuel I created this delicious Pina-Kale-Ada smoothie. My favourite cocktail with a healthy twist. It’s full of hydrating coconut water to help replace all those lost electrolytes, sweetened all naturally with banana and pineapple, and packs a plant-based protein punch to help your muscles recover after that intense workout!


Ingredients:
Serves 1

1 Cup Frozen Pineapple Chunks
1/2 Ripe Banana
1 Packed Cup Chopped Kale
2 Teaspoons Hemp Protein Powder
1 Cup Coconut Water
2 Teaspoons Lime Juice

when life hands you pineapples...make pina-kale-ada's!
