post-workout shakes. Other varieties of milk, such as chocolate milk, have added benefits. “Chocolate milk as a post-workout option makes great sense, as it contains additional carbohydrates to quickly replenish energy,” says Burdick. “An added benefit of chocolate milk is calcium and vitamin D to promote optimal bone density, especially in teens and young women.” But after a while, just like a gym routine, the same post-workout drink can get boring. If it’s time to try something completely different, whole foods might be the answer. “Whole foods can be great alternatives to post-recovery drinks,” says Burdick. “Acai bowls are gaining popularity as a ‘smoothie in a bowl,’ combined with nuts for healthy fat and grains – quinoa, oats, low sugar granola, etc. Greek yogurt offers the same mix of carbs, protein and fat as milk, and can be eaten with a spoon or consumed as a beverage.” Post-workout supplements are essential, says Burdick, but the supplement – just like the workout itself – must be tailored to the needs of the individual. “Consuming a post-workout recovery drink or snack makes sense for anyone, of any age, who exercises,” she says. “They are vital to getting the best results from your workout, keeping your body functioning at its best and keeping you working out injury-free. The best choice for you will be simple, convenient and enjoyable.”
