What’s the easiest way for me to replenish my carbs after workout?

After a long workout, fast-paced run, or grueling lifting session, it’s critical to replenish glycogen stores with a quick, fast-acting carb source.

Athletes have turned to any number of carb sources for this fuel – from carb powders to gummy bears to chocolate milk, everyone is looking for that quick kick to the recovery process.

My approach is a piece of fruit. It’s simple, easy to pack, provides a valuable insulin boost, and feels better than eating Halloween candy in the name of fitness.
