post workout

OK, so we made it to the gym, we did our warm-up, ran on the treadmill, hammered out a few weights and now it's time to go home (thank god). 

Lazy girls aren't really workout girls, but it has to be done, right? And when the lazy girl has to make something to fuel themselves afterwards… it can almost be as hard as their workout (because who has the effort?!).

At this stage there are thousands of post-gym smoothies out there – and they're all very complicated. 

So, while this one isn't as fancy as the rest, it will do just the trick after a hard(ish) workout:

Almond and Banana Smoothie (serves two sweaty girls)

500ml almond milk

2 frozen bananas (if using fresh banana add some ice)

2 teaspoons almond butter

2 teaspoons Greek yoghurt

A grating of nutmeg

2 teaspoons of maple syrup

And BLITZ!

Try these tips if you are heading out straight after your gym workout to avoid looking like a sweaty Betty.

Use a little water

Splash water onto your face and use a little alcohol-free toner to help reduce the redness in your face.

Tinted moisturiser

Foundation can be too heavy to put on your face after an intense workout so opt instead for a tinted moisturiser.

Concealer

If you need a little more coverage, invest in a light concealer and just dab it on where ever it is needed.

Lip gloss

Before leaving the gym, pop on a little gloss for effect.

Mascara

A little bit of mascara goes a long way. Use it sparingly to open up your eyes and finish off your look.

If anyone says anything nasty to you, just tell them that you did a 60 minute intense workout while they munched on biscuits. That’ll show ‘em!
