It’s important to make sure you fuel your body properly after any sort of workout, including a walk.
We use a lot of stored energy while exercising. It is important to replace this energy post – workout. The goal is to include some slow digesting fiber and some protein.
Some snack ideas can include:
- Cheese and Crackers (tip: try to choose whole grain crackers, or make your own – Copycat Rosemary Pecan Raincoast Crackers – The Café Sucre Farine)
- Hummus and pita with sliced veggies
- Nuts and Fruit (my favourite combo is cashews with grapes!)
- Cottage Cheese with frozen, thawed berries (I love blueberries here – and they’re packed with water which can help with hydration after a workout)
- Greek Yogurt and Flaxseed
- Homemade muffin with some peanut butter
- Sliced Apples and Almond butter
What are your favourite protein- fiber snack combos for post workouts?
Why walk?
Walking can be a great way to help our body stay sensitive to insulin, so that we can try to prevent insulin resistance by keeping our cells working properly.
It can also significantly improve your mood and energy levels. Rain or shine, we are walking! Bring your runners, umbrellas or rainboots and join us for a walking group! We can discuss more of your snacks ideas and ways to pair protein and fiber to get the most bang for your buck. We can also discuss savy ways to save some money when thinking about snack options. Food doesn’t need to blow the budget!
Hope to see you there!
