๐Iโve got a delicious shake recipe for you with a LONG list of good-for-you benefits.
That's because it contains tart cherry juice -- aka the juice of sour Montmorency cherries.
Tart cherry juice is linked with improved strength and less muscle soreness post-workout, better sleep, less joint pain, better brain health and a stronger immune system and the list goes on!
The pineapple adds some sweetness, but also has even MORE compounds that help your body recover from workouts (especially the enzyme bromelain).
๐๐ผNOTE: Use unsweetened juice to avoid the added sugars in sweetened versions.
