Preparation time: 5 minutes.

Cooling time: 15 minutes.

Total preparation time: 20 minutes.

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 300 ml of tomato juice
• 200 ml of coconut water
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 scoop of vegetable protein (pea or soy, 25–30 g)
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 1 stick of celery
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds or ground flax seeds 
• a pinch of black pepper
• a pinch of ginger powder

Preparation:

0. Cut the banana and the stalk of celery into smaller pieces.

1. Pour coconut water and tomato juice into a blender

2. Add banana, vegetable protein, celery, salt, lemon juice, hemp or flax seeds, pepper and ginger.

3. Blend for 30-45 seconds until you get a completely smooth, creamy-liquid texture.

4. Cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before consumption if you want an even better refreshing effect.

Note:

Try and add more:

• more coconut water if you want a lighter drink
• more salt if you have had a hard workout or severe electrolyte loss
• a little lemon juice for freshness

Super recovery tomato juice for firefighters provides:

• quick energy from banana
• electrolytes from coconut water, salt and tomatoes
• protein for muscle recovery

Tips:

1. Use well-chilled tomato juice and coconut water if you want the drink to be immediately ready for consumption.
2. You can cut the banana beforehand and freeze it to make the drink colder and thicker.
3. For a thinner texture, add another 50-100 ml of coconut water.
4. If you use ground flax, drink the drink soon after preparation because it will become thicker over time.
5. Adjust the amount of salt to taste; do not increase it further just because of the supposed loss of electrolytes.
6. If the drink is intended after very intense work and profuse sweating, the amount of required electrolytes depends on the individual sweat loss, so this drink should not be seen as a substitute for targeted replacement of electrolytes in all situations
7. The drink is best consumed immediately after preparation.

Napomena:

Probaj i dodaj još:

Super oporavak sok od paradajza za vatrogasce daje:

• brzu energiju iz banane
• elektrolite iz kokosove vode, soli i paradajza
• protein za oporavak mišića

Saveti:

1. Koristi dobro ohlađen sok od paradajza i kokosovu vodu ako želiš da napitak bude odmah spreman za konzumaciju.
2. Bananu možeš prethodno iseći i zamrznuti kako bi napitak bio hladniji i gušći.
3. Za ređu teksturu dodaj još 50–100 ml kokosove vode.
4. Ako koristiš mleveni lan, napitak popij ubrzo nakon pripreme jer će vremenom postajati gušći.
5. Količinu soli prilagodi ukusu; nemoj je dodatno povećavati samo zbog pretpostavljenog gubitka elektrolita.
6. Ako je napitak namenjen nakon veoma intenzivnog rada i obilnog znojenja, količina potrebnih elektrolita zavisi od individualnog gubitka znojem, pa ovaj napitak ne treba posmatrati kao zamenu za ciljanu nadoknadu elektrolita u svim situacijama.
7. Napitak je najbolje konzumirati odmah nakon pripreme.
