Potato Pitch: Have You Potassiumed Lately?

Sweet Potatoes - interesting smoothie potential

Potatoes might just be the most versatile food out here. Period. The U.S. has spoken and proves that potatoes are bought at the amount they are supposed to be bought: What Do Americans Buy at the Grocery Store.

As the spring approaches and more individuals venture outdoors, it will be important to remember potatoes. Kick them up post workout or eat them as a meal at some point during the day. Your body will thank you. Your muscles will thank you for keeping them working and contracting smoothly.

Banana - high smoothie potential

   

They are not only for monkeys and gorillas. When was the last you ate a banana, and it represented an energy boost for exercising versus a scrumptious fruit eaten for anything else besides increasing exercise tolerance?

Carrots. the combo of these three foods would make a great smoothie. Marathon and running season are already here. Replenishing what you have burned is tasting good.
