On busy days, getting in a quick sweat session is already a feat. Preparing a nutritious post-workout meal? That’s a whole other battle! With a hectic schedule, it’s all too easy to skip out on your post-workout meal. But without the proper nutrition post-sweat, you could be counteracting the health benefits from your workout. Plus, overlooking nutrition after exercise can put you at higher risk for injury – your body needs nutrients to aid in recovery!

So, how do you squeeze in a snack or carve out time to cook? Easy: Let us take care of it.

There’s oodles of healthy snacks, smoothies, and satisfying post-workout fuel at your fingertips! Simply open your UberEATS app and have healthy – and delicious – meals meet you at the gym, at work, or wherever you are! You can even schedule an order so your meal is ready and waiting as soon as you’re finished with your workout.

Not sure what to order? We’ve rounded up our picks below for every post-workout mood. Even better, each dish is filled with the magical post-workout pair: carbs and protein. Carbs will replenish your body’s energy sources and fend off fatigue, and protein ensures your body recovers completely, making you stronger and leaner. This nutrient duo will ensure you reach your fitness goals and reap the benefits of every workout.

 

Early bird eats
After an early morning sweat, nibbling a granola bar isn’t going to give your body the proper nutrients to rebuild muscle and start your day feeling energized. Instead, order protein-fueled, fresh-cooked dishes, like a customized egg white omelette from The Broken Yolk, or a Green Protein Bowl from Project Juice.

 

Light bites
Even if you don’t feel hungry after a workout, eating a small snack is essential to combat fatigue and low blood sugar. Wherever you’re headed to after the gym, order light bites like a hummus plate from Luna Grill. Hummus is an excellent source of plant-based protein, and the carbs from the veggies make it perfect for post-workout replenishment.

 

Liquid fuel
Avoid the pre-made protein shake aftertaste, and order a fresh blended shake from your UberEATS app instead. Whether you like yours fruity, green or protein-packed, there’s something for every taste bud. Our favorite? The Mango Rush from Lean and Green Cafe. Rich in Vitamin C and potassium, this liquid goodness will replenish your body’s electrolytes – the chemicals you lose when you sweat during a workout.

 

Beast mode grub
After a rigorous workout, you’ll probably be craving a hearty meal. Replenish your body and fuel up with the turkey sandwich from BE Fresh. This high-protein dish will help your body repair and provide you with a much-needed energy boost – you deserve it!
