This summer I was introduced to a new recovery food…popsicles! Recovery foods are food that runners eat right after a run to begin refueling their bodies. Some other good recovery foods that I have found are bananas, grapes, sport bars, chocolate milk…yes! chocolate milk.
The best recovery food after a run on a hot and humid summer evening is a popsicle. And of course I had to share my popsicle with my four-legged running partner, Daisy.
She likes grape flavored also.
Perhaps grape is her favorite.
And make sure you re-hydrate with water.
I didn’t have a bowl so a White Castle cup worked great.
