Spring is in the air! It seems like everywhere we look, people are outside, cleaning up yards, exercising, and enjoying a little warm weather. With new years resolutions and warmer weather for jogging, more people are hitting the gyms and sweating up a fever. Only to wake up the next morning with tired and aching muscles that don’t want to move an inch. And this isn’t limited to the sporty kind of people, spring cleaners using up a bit too much of their elbow grease can also come down with a case of sore muscles.

It’s good to take care and not push yourself too hard, but sometimes muscle soreness is unavoidable. Pain relief gel or a cbd roll on might work in these instances to help facilitate muscle recovery, as would simply taking a day of rest. But if only there was a delicious remedy that you could eat, perhaps even as part of your workout routine or as a reward for clearing out the house.

Well, now there is! The Cherry Marketing Institute has put together a fabulous resource page about the muscle recovery benefits of tart cherries. That page can be found here.

Make sure you scroll to the middle of the webpage and download the Tart Cherry Recovery Recipes booklet. In it, you will find great recipes for Cherry Good Oatmeal, Tart Cherry Recovery Gummies, Cherry Chocolate Chip Protein Bites, Cherry Revitalizer Smoothie, and Tart Cherry Mango Avocado Salad.

The wonderful versatility of our fruit is on full display in that recipe book. Let us know if you use any of these recipes in your #runrecoverrepeat routine.

To your health!
