having a post workout shake is just a trendy thing to do because its easy and tastes good. it is good for recovery as well. however, a better idea is to eat more of your carbs after a workout with some protein or recovery powder. fueling your body up no later than 30min after a workout with carbs to burn and some protein…

with all prepackaged foods you should always always always look for the simplest ingredients. for peanut butter, if the Ingredients list anything besides: Raw Peanuts/Roasted Peanuts, sea salt -- dont get it!

best advice is just to try and set a goal of oz to drink in a day. get a water bottle with the volume printed on it.

one serving of 0% plain greek yogurt with any kind of fresh fruit, jelly or even agave nectar. add some ground flax for extra calories. take some fruit (one banana is perfect) into blender with some nut butter, almond/soy milk, ground flax, protein powder and ice. the less carbs 4ish hours before bed, the better.
