Post-Workout Smoothie Bowl

It has been 2 months now since I have been going serious with my training sessions and one important thing I have realized is what you fuel your body with afterwards.

There is tons of post-workout supplements there that claim to help with recovery but what is better than real food? I can’t think of anything. I love food so that is not up for debate.

I have been enjoying this post-workout smoothie bowl with different flavors of smoothies to give me variety such as my chocolate raspberry smoothie, apple & peanut butter smoothie, and my cherry-blend smoothie. The base of it really is the oatmeal and nuts. It is important to get a sufficient amount of carbs and protein after a workout because that is what your body uses for fuel and repair any muscle damage.

I wanted to share this with you all because this doesn’t just give me fuel after a workout but it honestly keeps me satiated for 5 hours. I don’t even get the craving or urge to snack in between this meal and lunch which is a huge plus for me.

Let me know what you guys think of this recipe in the comments below. This smoothie consists of berries so what other flavors or add-ins did you try?

Until next time, I’ll see you in the next recipe. Time to eat.
