Post Workout Fuel

By:  Maria



Sometimes, a snack does not need a long explanation.

Your body needs fuel after a tough workout.

Give your body fuel that will be used efficiently.

Ingredients

1/2 roasted Acorn Squash (I've used all varieties of squash - they all work. Favorites: Delicata, Butternut)

1 tblsp Almond Butter

1 tsp Cinnamon

1-2 tsp Flax Meal (I've used flax seeds also!)

2 tblsp Homemade Yogurt (have I posted this recipe yet?! mmmm)

1/2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup or Raw Honey (totally optional: roasted squash is sweet enough on its own!)

Here's where it gets difficult (yea...sarcasm):

Mix together squash and almond butter.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and flax, drop a dollop of homemade yogurt.

Drizzle with maple syrup/honey (if using).

Eat.

*You can also add a tablespoon or two of unsweetened applesauce or 1/2 banana mashed for different flavors.
