My favorite post exercise snack is baked sweet potato slices with almond butter. I have suggested it to clients and to others at seminars and always get the response that this snack is a treat! Simple and well, if you prefer peanut butter (who doesn’t?) then you are sure to love this option. I find it an easy snack before exercising, too. But, usually without the nut butter.

My second favorite option is a green monster smoothie with a plant based protein like Vega Sport Performance Protein. The green monster is made with kale, apples (or apple cider if making in blender), ginger and lemon. It really packs a recovery punch! In time you will use less apple cider and more water instead as your taste buds get used to the kale. You sure do get your muscles fed this way and they are not sore the next day!
