What to Eat After Your Workout

You have finished your workout and think that if you don’t eat anything it will only help the process of losing weight. This is a big mistake. If you don’t eat anything within one hour after working out, your whole workout might go to waste. I am going to give you the top things to eat after a workout to make every minute of your sweat and tears worth it! First things first, it is crucial to eat within one hour of finishing a workout. We must eat in order to heal the muscles that have been at work and to make the time and effort worth it. Protein and carbohydrates are the top two things to eat after your workout.

Edamame

These little green pods are full of protein and unlike eggs, you can eat them on the go. They are also high in iron and calcium which is great for the bones and muscles.

Blueberries

Blueberries are one of the top superfoods. These little blue fruits give a huge antioxidant boost and can triple your recovery rate after a workout.

Hummus

A great meat-free option is a hummus. Hummus is full of protein and carbs and will keep you from crashing after an intense workout.

Bananas

We just can’t get enough of the energy boosts from bananas. They hold the carbohydrates needed to help restore damaged muscles after a workout.

Water

Last but not least, water and lots of it! Always stay hydrated.
