ndirishkmk Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hello! I’m getting ready to start my first round and have a question about a post workout shake. I do Orangetheory or lift weights at 5am, come home and have a protein shake around 6:15 and then have breakfast at work around 8. I don’t eat before the workout. My question is whether a shake composed of compliant protein powder (vital protein collagen sounds like it works), amazing greens and water/ice would be okay as a post workout snack? If not, any suggestions on easy post workout options I can eat on the go in the morning and have breakfast 2ish hours afterwards? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 6, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2019 Smoothies and shakes are discouraged regardless of the ingredients. For why, google 'whole30 can I have a smoothie'. I understand that smoothies have more fruit/sugar usually but if you read our take on liquid food, it stands. Post Workout snack is lean protein and starchy carbs so you can put a couple bites of chicken breast and cooked sweet potato into a ziplock bag and eat that as you get changed... it really is as easy as that. Leftovers work well - maybe some roasted potato and pork loin or half a tuna cake and some leftover roasted root veg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
