Protein Smoothie
The best things to consume after a workout includes Protein Smoothie. The best time to enjoy a protein smoothie is on an empty stomach, so these make an excellent and filling post-workout snack. The protein powder will fill you up and provide the amino acids for your muscles to rebuild. Make sure to pack the smoothie with berries and dark green, leafy vegetables. And finally, throw in a banana to get your dose of carbohydrates.
Banana and Peanut Butter
One of the easiest and fastest post-workout snacks is a banana smeared with peanut butter. You can munch on this while you wait for your smoothie to blend. The banana provides you with carbohydrates and the peanut butter is a perfect mix of protein and fat. You can also eat this in the morning for a low-calorie, light breakfast.
Greek yogurt, berries, and granola
Use unsweetened Greek yogurt with fresh berries and granola for yet another creative mix of necessary nutrients. While the yogurt has the proteins and fats, and the berries have cell-repairing antioxidants, the granola provides you with sugar.

Fresh-squeezed orange juice or oranges
Many people crave sweet drinks after a workout. Instead of soda or pre-packaged juices, order yourself a cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Fresh juice has lots of vitamin C and it’s loaded with natural fruit sugars. If the price tag on fresh juice is too high, keep a drawer of oranges in your fridge instead.
Acai Bowl
Acai bowls are a high-calorie, nutrient-dense post-workout meal. Each bowl is loaded with sugar, fiber, and antioxidants. If you get it with almond butter, you’ll get your dose of protein and good fats as well. While many nutritionists don’t recommend acai bowls for weight loss, they’re great for refueling after the gym.
Workout well, eat the right things after the workout, and enjoy the full benefit of food and exercise.
