It's
Leg Day. You know what that means... right? No, not the puking. No,
not the crawling. It means that the post-workout fuel can have CARBS!!!!!!! Lol!
Ok, seriously... I'm not the only one who looks forward to the heavy days just
so I can have a little extra, right? Right?? Regardless... post workout
nutrition is always important, but after completely draining those glycogen
stores during a heavy session, it's imperative to get some quality sugar - and
antioxidants - quickly (and as great-tasting as possible). Thankfully, your
resident Protein-Ice-Cream-Empress (that would be me) has got you covered. ;-)
Today, I bring you... The Protein and Anti-Oxidant Post Workout BOOM... You're
welcome. ;-)
