Pear, Cucumber and Mint Shake

I’ve started to attend Bikram Yoga sessions again. I wasn’t planning on doing it, not at all I must say.

I’ve started to attend Bikram Yoga sessions again. I wasn’t planning on doing it, not at all I must say. You ask why? I did it 2 years ago for a month and each time (I was there over 20 times) I thought I was dying. Seriously, I could not breath, I could not walk or talk. It was hard. Now you may have a new question – why the hell would I do it again?! The answer is simple – I’m cold. I’m so cold that I need to go there. Don’t understand me wrong, I love winter but this year it seems my body can’t handle it. 40 degrees for 1,5h can be a blast from time to time. 

After a session I feel like coming back from a volleyball game on a beach and I need a nice refreshing drink, that is full of vitamins and will make me sing. I made one. Try it yourself. I made mine in a blender and it was thick and delicious. 

You will need:

  • 2 pears, cut in small pieces
  • 1 cucumber, cut in small pieces
  • handful fresh mint
  • ½ cup mineral water

Place everything in a blender and shake it baby!

    I don’t think I could handle bikram yoga, cold weather or not. But I can still have this shake for breakfast, right?! 🙂

    This looks fresh and simple. I tried yoga once or twice but I am not very supple and felt like a goof next to the others.

    It’s fantastic that you’re doing yoga again! Hot yoga is intense… sometimes I feel like I’ll faint during an asana. Just make sure to stay hydrated, and in time it gets easier. Well, not easier, but you won’t feel like you’re dying! Also, see if your studio offers a meditative or restorative yoga. Balancing the body-challenging yoga with the mind-challenging yoga helps make sinking into a pose easier.
