Post Workout Snack Ideas

𝐅𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐨 𝐨𝐟:

𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 - to prevent muscle breakdown and stimulate muscle synthesis
𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐬 - carbs to replenish muscle glycogen used during the workout
𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 - help calm inflammation and improve post-exercise muscle recovery

When and what to eat post exercise depends on the length and intensity of exercise, the individual needs and goals. Very often the post workout meal or snack is simply breakfast, lunch or dinner or a snack. No extra meal or snack needed! What matters most is making the most out of that meal or snack to include these nutrients mentioned above.

Few faves are:

Jerky and piece of fruit
Smoothie with protein powder and frozen fruit/veggie
Yogurt plus pumpkin puree

Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one!
