Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ,Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and Circuit training is very much endurance based. Consuming real food is so important to fuel your workout and training session properly. Nutritional requirements of those who train in these areas are very different from strength/power athletes. Smoothies are an excellent way to help fuel your workout with a clean and nutritious energy source.
