Brown Bag It

Muscle Milk, Lean Body, Pure Pro, EAS...Hershey's Chocolate Milk and Carnation Instant Breakfast. Turns out that with all the research and studies to make the optimal sports recovery drink, the ratio of carbohydrates to protein is perfect for after workout recovery drink. 2 cups gives you around 16g protein and 48g carbohydrates.

Something else to think about, pre exercise carb consumption is directly linked to being able to maintain energy stores in the body throughout the workout while pre exercise protein helps to minimize the protein breakdown in your muscles. A good source of healthy carbs and lean fat...multigrain peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

How much better does it get than bookending a hard witkout with the old brown bag special Mom used to send you off to school with? PB&J and chocolate milk, does a body good!
