After a hard workout your muscles are craving fuel to rebuild themselves and one of the best things you can do for them is to drink a protein shake within 1 hour after you’ve finished your workout. This is especially true after a hard boot camp workout because you are using some major muscles for that.

Here is my amazingly easy recipe:
Grab your blender and mix 8 oz of COLD water with one full scoop of whey or wheat protein powder. You can add any assortment of fruits if you wish such as a little banana and some fresh strawberries. I happen to drink chocolate protein powder with just water and no fruit.   You can add ice if you want.

The protein powder is something you can buy at a local nutrition store such as GNC. I use “Ultimate Nutrition’s Protein Isolate in Cholocate Creme.  I stick with protein powders that have high protein and little fat/calories.  Mine has 1 gram of fat, 100 calories, 20 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar per scoop.  This is a fantastic one to use!
