WHY IT WORKS
Gym-goers demand fast-acting reliable fuel that delivers powerful effects without causing weight gain. This smoothie provides quick energy boost thirty minutes before your workout session.
Mango and pineapple supply fast-digesting carbs which raise blood sugar levels to transport glucose into working muscles.
The protien in this smoothie starts muscle restoration and blocks muscle deterioration during your toughest exercise sets.
The electrolytes from coconut water help maintain fluid balance which supports nerve conduction for explosive and precise lifts.
The mixture of fueling components creates a perfect timing for your exercise preparation by supplying energy to your warm-up and enhancing strength while sustaining your effort during the grind without any workout crashes or stomach discomfort.
