Now that the summer season is here, refreshing drinks and desserts are becoming popular once again, and we know that iced coffee and ice cream are just one of the top picks of everyone to satisfy their needs to feel refreshed during this season. These two will also make a good snack to reward yourself after a workout.
Your muscles crave sugar, protein, and carbohydrates after an exercise. Having something sweet other than the usual protein shake or supplements as a post-workout snack can be beneficial as the sugar helps your insulin spike, preventing your muscles from breaking down and aids its growth as well. Having either of the two will also make a snack to help you replenish your energy after completing an exercise in the middle of this humid season.
