Protein Snacks to Fuel Your Workouts

Fitness enthusiasts know that the best way to keep their bodies properly nourished and sustained is through a healthy diet. Eating foods with the right nutrients, like protein snacks, both before and after exercise will help your body perform better, recover faster and avoid injury. And guess what? One of the better fuels for your workout sessions – from start to finish – is peanut butter.

That’s right, peanut butter lovers. Eating high-protein, low-fat, peanut butter-infused snacks (like those you can make with PB2) goes great with your exercise. Because it promotes muscle synthesis and helps you stay fueled longer.

Try enjoying a powdered peanut butter item or two before you work out. It can help prevent muscle fatigue and provide that extra energy boost you need to stay motivated. Keep in mind that protein is a building block for all the cells and tissues in your body. So it’s crucial for muscle recovery once you’re done in the gym, too.

When you need an excellent source of protein, look no further than our Almond PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter. The product contains 5 g of protein per serving and is downright delicious!
