    I like to eat plain yogurt with some peanutbutter and honey stirred in.

    omg that sounds delic! I don't know why i've never done that before:love:
    mind=blown

    It is really good. Sweet and salty :)
    I take 1/2 cup of plain yogurt, and 1/2 Tbsp each of natural peanutbutter and honey. Less than 150 cal. and really filling.

    Cliff Protein Bars are FABULOUS. The chocolate mint and chocolate peanut butter are so tasty.
    Also, FAGE greek yogurt with honey.

    Usually a protein shake made with a scoop of whey, 1/2 a banana, 1 cup of milk / almond milk, 1 tbls peanut butter, some spinach, and sometimes 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. It's fun to add in a small spoonful of pudding mix too sometimes. :D

    That sounds awesome!!!(:

    A protein shake with some PB2 mixed in for a nice 55g of protein. I'm not sure what the minimum amount of protein we should be shooting for after a workout (heavy lifting)? *IF* I could choke down a couple of eggs after a workout, that's only about 12g of protein. Two tbs of peanut butter is 8g.

    You need to fuel your body with amino acids ( protiens) after work out to rebuild the muscles and eggs are wonderful natural source of the protien.Whey 100% protien powder is most common protien source used by many , I have stopped it cos I read somewhere about some unhealthy side effects of its consumption. :smile:

    Me too. :) I work out in the evening before dinner so I will usually eat some almonds while making dinner (usually lean meat, beans, and steam veggies)

    I read recently chocolate milk is a really good post workout snack but there are lots of other great ideas here including yogurt and PB.
