Top 5 Post-Workout Snacks

Once you've finished working your butt off to get in shape it's important to refuel properly. Your diet has a major impact on your overall fitness! Protein is an essential part of muscle recovery. Choose a snack that has a high amount of protein and pair it with fruit to get a healthy amount of carbohydrates.

1. WATER
Rehydrating during and after exercise is one of the important things you can do. Water keeps everything working smoothly and feeling fresh.

2. EGGS
Eggs are jam-packed with protein. Hard boil them and eat them alone or on toast to get some carbohydrates in there for energy.

3. PEANUT BUTTER & APPLE
Peanut butter has a surprising amount of protein and granny smith apples make a delicious and nutritious pairing.

4. YOGURT AND FRUIT
Low-fat Greek yogurt with strawberries, blueberries or any other fruit is a quick tasty snack.

5. CHOCOLATE MILK
Chocolate milk may not be the most nutritious option most of the time, but after a workout you can enjoy it guilt-free. The carbs and sugars in it give you a boost after a tough workout and the protein aids in muscle recovery.
