Packed with greens, protein, and a touch of sweetness, it’s the perfect post-class treat.
Why Tina Loves This Smoothie:
“This smoothie is my recovery secret weapon! It’s loaded with anti-inflammatory ingredients, natural electrolytes, and protein to help my muscles recover and keep me feeling my best. Plus, it’s super quick to make—perfect for busy days when I’m teaching back-to-back classes.”

- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (fiber + omega-3s)
- 1/2 avocado (healthy fats + creamy texture)
- Juice of 1/2 lime (refreshing + vitamin C boost)
- A handful of ice cubes
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1 teaspoon spirulina or matcha powder (for extra antioxidants)
- A pinch of cinnamon (for flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits)

Nutrition Tips from Tina:
- “Spinach and kale provide an incredible nutrient boost without overpowering the flavor, and the avocado makes the smoothie ultra-satisfying. The lime adds a refreshing twist while supporting hydration.”
- “For recovery, protein is key. If you’re not a fan of protein powder, Greek yogurt is a great alternative.”
