Picture this: You just stepped out of an intense hot yoga class...and youre STARVING.
But the idea of downing an enormous brunch straight after a sweat session makes you a little queasy.
Ease your way into your morning fuel and keep up your post-yoga energy boost with this mango, raspberry, and cardamom smoothie courtesy of our friends at Furthermore, from Equinox.
Plus, cardamom can also help reduce inflammation and is a relative of ginger (a popular digestive aid). You'll instantly feel refreshed—and ready to tackle the rest of your day.
