A protein shake out of the fridge is ok for when you’re on the run after working out. But when it comes to a natural and protein-packed nutritious drink – nothing beats a freshly made smoothie. In this article, our V-Café team shares their three favourite post-workout smoothies, so you can now shake up at home! (Or grab one when you’re in at your local Virgin Active club.)
