From time to time I get asked the question:
"What are some good "paleo" post workout options?"
I got these 2 recipes from my good friend, Karen Pierce's nutrition blog. I can not say that I have tried them yet, but it seems like it would do the trick!
Afternoon Top-Off
The Paleo Diet Cookbook
Trying to keep on top of your glycogen stores for that second workout of the day? Eating real food in place of a prepackaged product will keep you on top of your game. Serves 1.
1 banana

A great option for a post, short Session workout, this tasty treat is quick and easy to prepare. Enjoy post-workout to restore your potassium levels and refuel your tank. Serves 2.
