Tart Cherry Recovery Shots
Drink 30-60 min afterConcentrated tart cherry juice shots for post-run recovery. A homemade version of commercial tart cherry shots like Cheribundi or CherryActive. Tart cherries contain anthocyanins, which have been studied for reducing exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation.
Shots
Drink one shot within 30-60 minutes of finishing a hard run, or each evening during heavy training blocks. Research suggests benefits build over consistent daily intake (5-7 days), making this most useful around races or peak training weeks. Use Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (very concentrated) or unsweetened tart cherry juice for the strongest effect. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
In a measuring cup, combine the tart cherry juice, concentrate (if using), honey, lemon juice, and sea salt.
Whisk until honey is fully dissolved.
Pour into 6 small reusable shot bottles (about 50 ml each).
Refrigerate. Shake before drinking. Best within 1 week.
