So, the question arose today whilst I was at lunch ( :drinker: ) with a few colleagues of mine about what our favourite"post-exercise" snacks were. I didn't quite known which one (so hard to choose just one!) so I said a banana.
So I'm going to ask everyone here too.
What is your favourite post-exercise snack?

    Greek yogurt (honey bottom, lime, or peach/jpassionfruit) with a handful of organic blueberries and a scoop of hemp granola :love:

    If I don't have time to go home after a workout, I'll throw a cheese string, Babybell or baggy of almonds in my purse.
    Bananas bruise too easily, plus I eat them every day for breakfast so I don't want to get sick of them

    One scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (Designer Whey) and 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk... plus a fruit so the protein get into my bloodstream quicker! It is my favorite treat of the day!

    I love my homemade protein shake after my workout. I mix non-fat plain Greek yogurt that is high in protein and lowish carbs. Then I put in a scoop of Garden of Life raw protein powder. Then I mix in unsweetened almond milk. Then blueberries. It is so yummy! A wee bit high in calories but high in protein, filling, and good for me! Try it.
