For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
Oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates, providing a slow and steady release of energy. This can be beneficial for maintaining energy levels throughout training sessions or games. The protein from milk and protein powder aids in muscle growth and recovery post-exercise.
Health Benefits
Milk is a good source of protein and calcium, contributing to muscle health and bone strength. Mandarin oranges are rich in vitamin C, which is important for immune function and collagen synthesis. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants, such as flavonoids, which may help to improve heart health. Oats are good sources of dietary fibre, important for digestive health, and it helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
