Killed a Wabbit

As most of you know, the standard post-workout recovery protocol is ingestion of carbs and protein consumed at a 4:1 ratio within 15 minutes of completion of your workout.  Popular recovery foods include sports drinks supplemented with protein, fruit and nuts, and cereal/protein bars.

But BLECH!  Who wants to work out with only that to look forward to?  None of those things are going to make me tackle the last mountain repeat or chase down the leader of my running group to make sure I’m getting the best workout possible.  Sorry, but I will NOT push myself for a Clif Bar.

But for this, I will:

He looks scared, doesn’t he? Bwaahaaahaaahaaa! 🙂

After doing a little research, I figured out that 3/4 of Peter Rabbit ingested with 8 ounces of skim milk equals the perfect post-workout recovery meal – the perfect 4:1 ratio.

Delicious.

 

Happy Running!

Sounds like a winner to me, but personally I prefer a tall, cold glass of low fat chocolate milk. Either way you look at it, you can’t beat the chocolate!

Yes, Kent, chocolate milk is yum!

Now that’s worth fighting for. (And I don’t even like chocolate, but I’m with you in spirit).

Yay, Anne! 🙂

I can’t believe you still had a chocolate rabbit hanging around this long after Easter! Rob ate his own one pounder and stole from all three kids within a week (or two) of Easter.
Rob’s loving wife,

Hey, Theresa! Great to hear from you! And glad to know Rob is still enjoying his chocolate! Hope you’ve got him running 🙂
