Toast with almond butter and strawberries, plus an almond milk protein shake
"This is the perfect post workout 'meal' because it combines a solid serving of protein (1 scoop of egg white protein) plus excellent carbs and fat.
"I add a sprinkle of Amazing Grass greens powder for a touch of extra nutrition! This combination is key to promote recovery from workouts. The protein aids in muscle recovery and the carbs replenish lost glycogen. And yes, it’s totally delicious!"

Greek yogurt with almonds and dried cranberries
"This is one of my favorite go-to snacks after my typical bodyweight HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workout because it has over 25g of protein. It's plain Greek yogurt with raw almonds and unsweetened cranberries."
