Recommendations for post exercise are to consume a high carb snack or meal with a little bit of protein within 30mins. However,
the loss of appetite after intense or longer duration training/racing can make it quite difficult to get the required energy in within the optimal window. But now that summer has arrived I have found a great easy to make recovery snack solution, popsicles!
Making your own popsicles is super easy and in fact I’ve posted 3 recipes in the recipe section for experimentation. All the recipes I’ve posted contain milk for protein and a simple sugar sweetener for quick glycogen repletion. You can also freeze up some chocolate milk or other favorite post-recovery (non-alcoholic) beverage for your enjoyment and replenishment.
