August 2021 Flow – Post Workout Nutrition Tips :

Now you could go all in, bring a cooler, but that’s not always gonna happen.

I’m more likely to hide whey (that was given to me, I haven’t bought any in years) in something, than to drink a couple scoops in room temperature water at the gym.

I have a better answer for a post workout shake, ready?

Wait for it…

Milk

Cue the gasps.

I keep it cold in a thermos.

A 20oz thermos was given to me as a gift a few years back thinking I’d keep stew warm in it to eat as a before gym meal during truck time on the way back to the shop from moving jobs.

That didn’t work out.
Stew wasn’t liquidy enough, it had gotten lukewarm at the end of the day, but it’d work with soup which is watery enough to hold heat.

However I now have a 20oz thermos, and while a quart would be a better size I have a 20oz one, so I’m using what I have on hand.

I fill that amazing little invention with milk, tend to leave it in the car, and even on the hottest of summer days can exit the gym to a nice cold 20oz of milk.

Many really want to be fancy, but a thermos of milk and a pb&_ sandwich is solid enough post workout nutrition.

More enjoyable, costs less, probably isn’t iifym though 🙂
