How I Shake it Up

Before a workout I like to have some protein incorporated with carbs, and amp it up with more protein after the workout. Sometimes I’ll have an omelet before a workout, half a turkey wrap, or some oatmeal with a teaspoon of almond butter, then workout and have a full shake waiting and ready. A good food to eat after a workout is a banana because it stores glucose in your body, which will store energy for later. You can eat the banana whole or cut it up into the shake.

Having a source of protein post-workout helps to repair the muscles "damaged" during workouts. It's important to have a source of protein post-workout in order for your muscles to become stronger.
