Eat Right, Feel Right!

It's not all just about working out right, your body also needs to be fed correctly! It's counterproductive to complete a hard workout session to just go to the dining hall and stuff your face with chicken nuggets or pizza. Instead, follow these simple healthy recipes that are great to eat when your metabolism is high right after a work out.

 

Graham Crackers, Nutella and bananas! Such a perfect, yet simple snack. It's healthy too! The hazel nut spread is very healthy, and I've heard it tastes delicious (I, unfortunately, have a nut allergy). To be extra health-cautious, you can get low fat graham crackers! This definitely beats having greasy pizza or anything else from the dining hall. 

These bagel flats taste great with ricotta cheese and chopped up strawberries! I know what you're thinking, "bagels aren't healthy!". While this may not be a complete false statement, these bagel flats are only 100 calories! Spread a healthy cheese on top with some fresh fruits, and you're looking at a healthy snack that may just become your new favorite breakfast food. Say goodbye to the Captain Crunch! 

Eating dried pineapples (or any dried fruit for that matter) and pistachios is a great source of antioxidants! You can also try mixing raisons and peanuts as well as dried apricots and almonds. Dry fruit is super easy to store in your dorm since they come packaged in small containers or tight bags!

These are just a few of some of my friends and my favorite post-workout snacks. Eating healthy after a workout is extremely important, and it makes you feel productive and good about yourself! Remember, stay fit, stay active and stay healthy!
