​ What to snack on after a quick workout

​ What to snack on after a quick workout

20 Nov 2024 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

After a short workout, a good snack should include a combination of protein and carbohydrates to help with recovery. Here are some ideas:
• Yogurt and fruit: A cup of Greek yogurt has 20 grams of protein, and you can add fruit for energy-boosting carbs. Blueberries are especially good because they contain antioxidants that can help with muscle inflammation.
• Eggs and veggies
Eggs are a good source of protein, and you can pair them with vegetables for carbs. You can make a frittata with your favorite veggies or add ham for extra protein.
• Hummus and crackers
Hummus and crackers are a good way to get both carbs and protein. You can choose crackers with fiber to make the snack more filling.
• Fresh fruit
Fresh fruits like apples, bananas, and oranges are mostly water and high in vitamin C, which can help with rehydration and muscle inflammation.
