After a workout it is important to eat the right stuff to rebuild your muscles and refuel your body! Here are 4 refreshing post workout snacks to whip up!
Blue Berry Banana Shake
3 large bananas, frozen
2 cups blueberries, frozen
2 cups 2% milk, divided
2 tablespoons good honey
In a blender process bananas until they break down to pea size pieces of frozen banana, add 1 cup milk and blend until combined. You may need to scrape down a few times. Add blueberries and remaining 1 cup of milk and process until thick and creamy. Add honey and spin it a few times to combine.
Peanut Butter & Coconut and Granola Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup dried fruit (I used a mixture of golden raisins and dried cranberries)

1/4 cup peanut butter (or nut butter of your choice)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons chia seeds or flax seeds

Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until mixture is well-combined. Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with wax paper or foil and firmly press oat mixture into the bottom of the pan. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until ready to cut. Cut into 6 bars and individually wrap and store in freezer.
