Post Run Nourishment
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Immediately after my run I can’t eat anything. Even on my long run’s – when all I do is daydream about what I’m having for breakfast – I can’t eat. Since proteins are needed for muscle recovery and growth, I started drinking protein drinks. Before my turn to the greener side of the force I used to rely on whey protein powders. After seeing how much cholesterol whey contained, I switched to soy. Being a vegetarian, I’m always looking for sources of protein. Soy protein is low in fat, has NO cholesterol and may reduce the risk of heart disease. Throw in some Metamucil (for lowering cholesterol and fiber) and I’m good to go.
ORB Vanilla Orange Protein Drink
- 12 oz. skim milk
- 1 ice cube
- 1 scoop (42 g) of EAS Soy Protein powder
- 1 rounded Tbsp (12g) of Orange Metamucil
Combine the above in a drink mixer and enjoy. It tastes a lot like a orange creamsicle (the closest I’m going to get to one). If you try it, let us know what you think!!!
