Finished with that intensive workout and feel your stomach growl? Don’t be surprised. If you’ve worked out, your muscles will need to be refueled. Feeling hungry is your body’s way of telling you that your muscles need the energy to go on!
Having said that, what you consume and drink post-workout is really crucial and greatly impacts your healthy lifestyle. If skipping post-workout meals becomes a regular thing, it can leave you feeling tired and groggy and can get in the way of your post-workout recovery
After a workout is the best time to enjoy comforting, healthy carbs like oatmeal, which efficiently replenishes those hard-working muscles. Oats mixed with your smoothies are fantastic any time of day, of course, but they’re especially fantastic post your workout: tasty, hydrating, and nutrient-rich.
