Absolutely, a post‑run chocolate‑banana smoothie can be a real speed booster if you tweak it a bit. Here’s my version: blend a ripe banana, 1 cup unsweetened oat milk, 1 scoop vanilla whey protein, 2 tbsp raw cacao powder, 1 tbsp almond butter, a pinch of sea salt, and a splash of stevia. It gives you roughly 25 grams of protein, 35 grams of carbs, a good dose of potassium to replace what you lose in sweat, and a touch of healthy fat for sustained energy. Drink it within 30 minutes after your run, and you’ll hit the sweet spot of recovery and a hint of extra speed. How does that sound? Any stats you’re curious about?
