This isn’t a comprehensive article on post-workout nutrition, though I wish it were. Perhaps I’ll have to add that to my huge list of pending articles which I WILL someday get to. I just wanted to share what’s working for me on particularly intense training days as far as a post workout shake is concerned. Basically, it’s just a small protein source mixed with fruit. Simple and effective. I’m fond of milk, a couple of cage-free eggs and a bannana (which can be frozen for the dessert effect). It’s actually a mini-meal for me, though I realize that some of you eat protein like so many particles of air inhaled. Scrapping one of the eggs and adding peanut butter works wonders to make it stick to your ribs, as it were, as does cooked oatmeal.
Anyways, that’s not the main point here. What I wanted to mention all along was that although this really worked well for me, I really started feeling great and recovering much faster when I added the contents of a 500mg cap of taurine to this mixture. After about a week or two doing this, I feel much stronger and generally more relaxed as well.
