Post Workout Meal

Working out makes me even hungrier than I am normally.
I don't know what it is about me, but I'm never full until I'm STUFFED.

However, after working out one Saturday morning I tried this meal out as a post-workout light meal, and it was actually kept me full for a while.

Avocado1


What you'll need:
2 slices THIN whole wheat bread- toasted
2 tablespoons lite cream cheese
(I used whipped with chives)
a few watercress leaves
(you can use spinach, kale, whatever!)
1/2 avocado
(use 1/4 if you are a calorie nazi)
2 tsp olive oil
sea-salt and black pepper to taste
sprinkle of red pepper flakes
drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar

What you'll do:
Toast the bread.
Then assemble in this order evenly:
cream cheese, watercress, avocado, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes.

I drank a small glass of Green Goodness juice as well.

What is your go-to post-workout meal?

  1. LOVE Avocados. So amazing.

    I usually just drink a boring old protein shake. I'm so hungry too after working out that I MUST do something immediately - e.i shake. ;)

  2. That actually looks pretty tasty. I always get really really hungry after working out. Generally I'll make my green monster smoothie. spinach, peanut butter, honey, milk, banana, oats, ice, protein powder...other fruits if I have them and sometimes cinnamon. I love it!!
