What is the best thing to eat after a workout?

try to eat protien 2 hrs before and more protien 2hrs after. if you have had an extra hard workout and feel like you are fading then have a protien shake made on skim milk or water. don't go for the colorie laden energy drinks! don't forget to drink heaps post workout, sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger.

I usually have some Greek yogurt (sometimes with some protein powder mixed in) for the protein to aid muscle recovery

0% greek yoghurt with some nuts (about 20-30g of mixed, unsalted nuts - almonds and walnuts particularly good). I like mine with a drizzle of honey as well and some berries if I have them.

Skimmed milk and a banana.

Chicken or turkey breast

Chocolate milk is tasty and cheap. It works pretty well.
