The science behind this recipe:

Pineapple works great as a post-workout treat because it is rich in Vitamin C, an antioxidant involved in healing and repair. Adding pineapple to your juice will boost your post-workout gains and allow you to recover faster and build muscle. 

Berries are an integral part of any post-workout snack because they contain complex carbohydrates that will allow your body to replenish its energy levels quickly, so you can stay alert throughout the rest of the day.

Leafy greens have been found to be correlated with enhanced muscle fiber composition. The chemicals in spinach help build muscle, ultimately speeding up the body's conversion of protein to muscle.

Chia seeds are a popular addition to drinks. Loaded with omega-3 fats, these seeds provide healthy fat for fuel and help relax your muscles.

Finally, coconut water contains a lot of potassium, which is important for heart health and regulating blood pressure. It's widely believed that coconut water is better at replenishing your body of water, which is essential after a strenuous workout.
