What to eat and drink after yoga

Hi Friends, here are a few drinks that you can use after a light to moderate exercise like  yoga or Pilates. This morning when I was returning from yoga, one of the ladies also in the session, started discussing about her post yoga routine. She usually has a cup of tea with digestive biscuits. To this I told her about a vegetable juices and also thought of writing it down. I have been away from writing for a very long period, hopefully I am back now for stay.From my experience, post a workout, even if its a Zumba, if I drink a vegetable juice, I can keep my hunger pangs away for couple of hours at least. Here are few drink you should also try. I usually drink this vegetable juice with soaked almonds, about 5-6, and one walnut. For next couple of hours , I am not hungry and exceptionally energetic to carry on with my day. I sometimes do have a cup of green tea after about 30 min of having this juice.

1. Cucumber, lemon juice
2. Cucumber lauki ( white gourd), amla (indian gooseberry) juice
3. Green apple ,cucumber spinach smoothie
4. Green apple parsley chia seeds smoothie
5. Coconut water, mint leaves and lime juice
6. Green apple, basil and chia seeds. 
7. Aloe Vera lime and mint.


Basically, we are combining any sour source , sweet and a flavoring. e.g lime, gooseberry, green applies are sour while cucumber and gourd is towards sweet flavor and mint, basil are flavor. 

So usually about 1 cucumber, 4-5 inch gourd and 1 gooseberry is good for a glass of juice. Of course, half a glass of water. For the green apple, 1 small green apple is good. Spinach- about 4-5 leaves. Chia seeds- 1 tbs. Lime- 1 tbs. Aloe vera again pulp of 3-4 inches . 

Try different drinks every day and see how you feel after a fortnight.
