Eating between workouts

It is so hard to balance eating the right foods post work outs. I think I might drink some protein shakes and protein bars. What post-workout snacks do you eat to help balance your macros? Any recommendations?

    Some of my favourite post-workout snacks are-

    Apple and peanut butter
    Greek yogurt and fruit - frozen, dried or fresh
    Bananas
    Nuts and dried fruit
    Smoothies - blueberries, strawberries, banana and apple juice is always good
    Cereal bars

    Hopefully that should give you some ideas :)

    I don't understand the question. The topic title has no relevance in the post and the post itself confuses me.

    I like to have a quite big balanced meal after about 30-40 min. after my post workout shake. it usually seems like a second breakfast

    Usually I juice or if im lazy, something like Naked Juices. Followed up with a protein shake, or a meal of balanced micros. I typically tend to favor micro nutrient heavy meals after workout as well, you lose alot of minerals in the sweat.
