You’ve unclipped your spin shoes and pushed out your last rep. Your cross-trainers have been swapped for apres-gym shoes and the last drop of sweat has been wiped from your brow. Time to chow down, right? Not so fast. While a tough-as-nails workout definitely does a body good, it is essential to put as much care into your post-exercise nutrition to really reap true benefits. To help you make the most of your fitness regimen, we’ve compiled a list of our 7 favorite post-exercise snacks to refuel and reboot. All in a hard day’s workout!
If you're on the go and craving something a bit fancier than a handful of almonds (also a great option!), reach for a natural nutrition bar with a high protein content and low sugar. Look for a bar with more than 10g of protein and less than 7g of sugar - otherwise, you might just be consuming a candy bar going incognito. We love the all-natural line of Quest Bars
, which are made from nuts, seeds, whey protein, and yummy additions like cacao and coconut.
