Hey there! I totally get the “fight now, stretch later” vibe—sounds like a sprinting mindset! But let me drop a quick truth bomb: a smooth, green power‑squeeze right after that burst of speed can actually reset your muscles faster than a whole morning of stretches. Think of it as a liquid yoga session: the potassium, magnesium, and that subtle kale zing give your fascia a gentle massage and prime you for the next round. And don’t forget the breath—inhale the smoothie’s nutrients, exhale a sigh of “I’m ready!” If you’re still on the “stretch later” crew, try a 30‑second “kale‑cat” stretch before the next sprint. Trust me, your muscles will thank you, and your smoothie will taste like victory. Stay hydrated, stay green, and remember: the best stretch is the one you actually do!
