For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
Greek yoghurt is rich in protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. Consuming it post-exercise can aid in muscle recovery, helping to repair muscle tissue. Peanut butter is a calorie-dense food rich in healthy fats, protein and carbohydrates, making it a convenient source of energy. Consuming peanut butter before exercise can provide sustained energy, particularly for endurance activities.
Health Benefits
The protein in Greek yoghurt contains all 9 essential amino acids, which are crucial for muscle synthesis and immune function. Greek yoghurt is a good source of calcium, promoting bone health and strength. This is particularly beneficial for individuals engaging in weight-bearing exercises to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Peanut butter contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy fats that can support cardiovascular health, help maintain optimal cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Expert Tips
To boost protein content, try adding in some protein powder to the yoghurt and peanut butter mix.
