POST-WORKOUT YOGURT BOWL
This is what I typically have as a post-workout snack after my afternoon lifting or swim sessions. This usually holds me over until dinner a few hours later while also helping me recover for tomorrow’s workout.
½ cup plain fat free greek yogurt
10 grams of nuts (I like pecans for this recipe)
1 tbsp honey
½ a full sized orange or 1 mini mandarin orange (cuties is a popular brand)
Splash of toasted sesame oil (1-3g)
Cinnamon to taste

Throw everything in a bowl, mix, and that’s it. This is a super simple meal to have when you are in a rush. It takes less than 5 minutes to make and can be customized in a variety of ways. If you have it later in the day, you could swap the orange for a sliced up kiwi. This will help with sleep onset later that night. Frozen mixed berries are another great fruit option.
If you are looking to make this more of a complete meal, here is a slightly edited version:

1 tbsp (7g) flaxseed meal
1 tbsp honey
½ a full sized orange or 1 mini mandarin orange
Splash of toasted sesame oil (1-3g)
