okay so i'm no professional but from the internet browsing i've done i've learned that its pretty important to have a post-workout snack after a hard workout to replenish the body. It gives you energy and helps to repair / rebuild / rehydrate muscles ...
Some things that just about every website suggest ...
- snacks should have some carbs as well as protein
- snack should be consumed within 45 mins of working out
Snack Ideas:
- low fat yogurt with some fruit in (this is what I opted for today)
- almonds
- peanut butter and banana (my favorite)
- grilled chicken
There has to be some athletes reading this blog... suggestions ?

ReplyDeleteFitness Freak! Do you eat before / after workouts?? If so, what??
ReplyDeleteAnother good post work out snack is an 8 oz. glass of organic chocolate milk. It has a lot of protein which is good for your muscles after a work out. I buy the Horizon milk boxes in the organic section, they are usually $1 a piece.
