Best post-workout drink for muscle growth

What to drink after training

Nutritionist Amy Goodson says that after a workout, you need to drink a high-calorie smoothie to build muscle. This is her most popular choice for several reasons.

First, it's a post-workout recovery and rehydration process.

Replenish carbohydrates for energy: honey and fruit in smoothies replenish glycogen stores that are depleted during exercise.

Carbohydrates also stimulate the release of insulin, which helps transport amino acids to muscle cells for repair and growth.

Protein is crucial in post-workout nutrition to help muscles recover and grow. Greek yogurt and milk are rich sources of protein that provide the amino acids needed for muscle recovery.

A fresh fruit smoothie gives your body the proper nutrition it needs after a workout while also helping to rehydrate.

Adding peanut butter to your smoothie also provides healthy fats that are a rich source of calories and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Fats can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, providing a steady release of energy.

Smoothies provide a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, making them the perfect post-workout snack to stimulate muscle growth and recovery.

It's also delicious and easy to adjust according to individual preferences or dietary restrictions.
