Best Post Workout Meal

Hi Ellington,
Just wondered what your views were on the best post workout meal.

My current regime is lots of water and then a banana blended in with some chocolate milk and some Greek yogurt but the blended drink can feel a bit “heavy” going down sometimes.

Is there anything else that you think is particularly beneficial?

Thanks,

Jeff

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich on jewish rye with a 1/2 cup chocolate milk is my favorite

Note…this is not immediately after a training session, its about an hour after

You are fine with your meal. Interestingly, Arthur Jones used to drink a quart of buttermilk after a hard workout. That was similar to chocolate milk, a banana, and Greek yogurt.

I’d say a proper post workout Warrior’s Breakfast is going to be steak, eggs, potatoes, cornbread and soup.

I will say, for myself, I pull more from the Vince Gironda playbook these days

Not enuff carbs for me. Personally I’d be struggling to recover without them. Each to their own!

For sure. Vince saves the carbs for a meal every 3-5 days. I actually find I only need them once a week.

On a more serious note..lol

That pizza needs more oil on it, according to J.M. Blakely.

This topic is very interesting and it leads me to this question for Dr. Darden

What food would you consider to be the perfect food?

I know some will say beef, some will say the egg and others may say fruit

So, Dr. Darden, what do you think is considered the Perfect Food?

A team of experts answered the question of a perfect food a few years ago. It’s mother’s milk. It has everything a baby needs for growth and well-being.
