PRE-WORKOUT SHAKES

Good nutrition is important for everyone, but athletes in particular feel firsthand how not eating properly can affect performance. Their need for calories is greater than the average person, ranging from 2000 to 5000 calories a day, depending on gender. If you’re an athlete who lets good nutrition fall down on the priority list, consider the ways it can impact both your performance and health.

  • Handful of strawberries
  • Several slices of mango
  • 125ml orange juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Banana
  • Handful of oats
  • 30g whey protein

WHY IT WORKS

The honey gives you 17g of carbs per tablespoon making it a great booster as a pre-workout meal. “The mango gives you potassium, which helps create both a healthier nervous system and releases energy from the rest of the protein, fat, and carbohydrates in the shake so your muscles stay energised for your entire workout.

POST-WORKOUT SHAKES

  • 4 thick slices of fresh pineapple1 stick of celery
  • 1 inch piece of ginger
  • 200ml water
  • 30g flavourless whey protein powder

WHY IT WORKS

The pineapple has a compound known as bromelain – a natural anti-inflammatory and painkiller. “The celery is also a pain-zapping master so powerful it’s used against arthritis and gout, while the ginger has chemicals which have anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties. All of these ingredients work together with the protein to refuel your muscles and help you feel less sore the next day.”
