This muscle-maximizing recovery drink is the perfect way to refuel your body after a tough workout. It's packed with protein, carbohydrates, and electrolytes to help you recover quickly and build muscle. The Greek yogurt provides protein and calcium, the coconut water provides electrolytes, and the berries and spinach provide antioxidants and vitamins.

I first came up with this recipe after a particularly brutal workout. I was sore, tired, and hungry, and I needed something to help me recover quickly. I had some Greek yogurt, coconut water, berries, and spinach in my fridge, so I threw them all in a blender and hoped for the best. The result was a delicious and refreshing drink that helped me recover quickly and get back to the gym the next day.
