Post-cycle Protein Shake
If you’d told me, at the start of the first lockdown, that I would end up becoming an avid cyclist before the year was out, I never would have believed you.
Now, nearly two years down the road, I’m living with my cyclist and cycle performance coach boyfriend (who I met between lockdowns), and between us, we have 24 bicycles.
There are plans for more.
Cycling is a big part of our lives, and as such, we need to fuel for these rides, and we need fuel for recovery. Part of our routine is to put some porridge oats to soak in almond milk before we head out for our rides, so they’re softened and easier to blend when we get back.
To this, we add a small banana, a spoonful of peanut butter and a generous pinch of ground turmeric. He puts fresh berries in his, I don’t.
However, our go-to post-cycle protein shakes have recently gone next level with the addition of Clean Greens.
I’ve just come back from a two-hour afternoon ride – not pictured above, that was in June last year, a marked difference to the 1.8 °C winter ride I’ve just been on! I have to say, my post-cycle protein shake, sipped in the shower as I slowly warmed up from the cold ride, was utterly fantastic.
It was a vibrant green colour, with a gentle sweetness. Very moreish, and not just because I was rather hungry after the ride. It felt rather virtuous too, with the addition of the Clean Greens.
What are Clean Greens?
The Clean Greens immunity booster from Rheal is a blend of 8 superfoods, including the nutrient-dense greens spirulina, chlorella, moringa, wheatgrass and barley grass. It contains no sweeteners, flavourings or fillers of any kind: just super greens.
So many of us still don’t include enough greens in our diet. Clean Greens is a simple, easy way to make sure we’re boosting our greens intake.
Clean Greens comes as a vibrant green powder in a fully recyclable cardboard container. Each container contains 150 grams of Clean Greens, enough for 30 servings, and retails for approximately £25.
This works out to be approximately 83 pence per serving.
