Gone are the days when your best post-workout options are chocolate milk or some highly processed bar. Check out these delicious ideas for vegan protein snacks!
Have you been told over and over that immediately after your run you need to guzzle chocolate milk instead of vegan protein snacks?
Well, you aren’t alone! That message has come through loud and clear from the dairy industry. You might have even found coolers of chocolate milk at the end of your latest race! For those of us that have chosen to forego milk products, the options have been limited in the recovery department.
Enter: these vegan protein snacks as your post-workout fuel!
Cheer up my fellow vegetarian and vegan friends! You don’t have to suffer through boring post-race or training foods any longer!
With the help of some fellow bloggers, I have complied some delicious vegetarian and vegan protein snack options that you might actually want to toss down the gullet after your next hard workout.
Give some of them a try and let me know in the comments or in the DMs on Facebook or Instagram what you think!
