TRITONS' KITCHEN: RECIPE OF THE WEEK

The sport nutrition branch of UC San Diego's Athletic Performance Unit aims to provide scholar-athletes with the skills and knowledge to develop lasting nutrition and lifestyle habits. Establishing these good habits during college will benefit the academic and athletic performance of scholar-athletes during their time at UC San Diego and well beyond their college years.

Today, we're offering up a recipe for a super healthy fruit and veggie smoothie!

Smoothies are great for a meal or snack on-the-go and make it easy to squeeze more fruits and veggies into the diet. Store-bought smoothies are often high in carbohydrates and low in protein. See below for tips on how to make a tasty and more nutritionally-balanced smoothie at home !
