Continuing our Juice recipe series (those which don’t require a juicer), this is a great juice for after your workouts! Almonds’ protein helps build and repair muscle, plus the potassium (twice as much as you get in two bananas) balances your electrolytes and fluids.
Simply blend, and enjoy!
Post-Workout Re-fueler Juice
Note: to increase thickness to a smoothie consistency, add 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or about 1 cup of ice and Dairy-free Milk of choice. Other great options are to add 1 banana or 1 whole avocado.

- Handful of almonds
- 1/2 sweet potato

Interesting use of sweet potatoes! I can’t eat potatoes according to the Paleo diet so is there another option you suggest?
Hi Cindy,
In my experience with Paleo, sweet potatoes are allowed in moderation as they’re a good source of non toxic, starchy carbs. Do you avoid them for an allergy? If not, then you should be able to enjoy them in moderation. If you’re still looking for a substitute, I would try butternut squash instead. Enjoy!
Maybe crazy question-raw or cooked sweet potato?
Cooked for me!
I would say raw for the full benefits of the sweet potato.
We make smoothies everyday…All raw.

I was thinking raw…..I know, I love smoothies and juice (juicer) but I have never thought about using a sweet potato-especially raw-but I'd say you are right Tony Chapin.
