Post Workout Protein Snacks
1. Peanut Butter & Banana
Peanut butter and banana is such a quick and cheap snack. Peanut butter is a great protein source, low carb, and contains a high amount of monounsaturated and omega-3 fats (healthy fats). Bananas are also good to fill up on after a workout because they contain potassium, which promote muscle recovery.
2. Hummus & Pita
Hummus is typically made from chickpeas, some olive oil, garlic and whatever else you feel like throwing in there! It is such a great snack because chickpeas are filled with some incredible nutrients AND protein! In addition to the protein, it also contains large amounts of manganese, iron, folate, and magnesium. You can also spice it up by adding in grilled peppers, black beans or some fresh veggies!
3. Greek Yoghurt
Greek yoghurt is packed full of protein, calcium, probiotics, and Vitamin B12 - just to name a few. After a workout, your body needs excess protein to repair and rebuild its muscles but we also need added nutrients to fulfil the needs of other parts of our body. Our bones also take quite the beating when we do a hard workout and the amount of calcium found in greek yoghurt definitely helps.
4. Supergreen LENTEIN Superfood
Our Supergreen LENTEIN Superfood is made using water lentils, which we grow in Florida. Water lentils are a superfood with incredible nutrient density similar to spinach and kale while also containing plant protein with a complete amino acid profile. Water lentils are a complete food source so while they contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and protein they also have fiber and omega-3 fats!
Simply add to cold water, your favorite milk or a smoothie for 2 servings of veggies and up to 12g plant protein!
5. Handful of Almonds
As with most of the other post workout snacks that have been recommended, almonds are a great source of plant protein. However, they contain more than just protein. Almonds are rich in antioxidants that can protect against oxidative stress and inflammation as well as healthy fats.

TESTIMONIALS
"I have been adding a scoop of this mixture when I make a smoothie. It adds good nutrition and doesn't take away from the taste of the other ingredients, and it blends well."

"This is my 3rd time buying this product and I still enjoy it as much as the first time. I can't compare it to any other product. It's multiple "feel good factors" (sustainably sources ingredients, plant based proteins and great customer service) have made me come back for more each time. Keep it up, Real Source :)"
Andreas K.
"Loved the taste and texture of this. Whether you're a vegan or following a more standardized healthy diet. It's easy to add to smoothies for a micronutrient and energy boost, including iron, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin A and essential amino acids! I will also be recommending to my plant-based clients specifically for the iron content."
