When you’re in a time crunch, it’s lucky enough if you can sneak in a workout. But what about your all-important post-workout snack?
This matters because what you eat has a BIG impact on your recovery and your results!
Research shows that you should try to eat within 45 minutes of your workout – and if that’s not possible, you make it within 2 hours for optimal benefit.
I’ve got a simple, make-ahead recipe for you … plus a couple of grab & go options to keep on-hand for when you’re short on time.

Note: you can easily turn this recipe into a complete breakfast by doubling the amount of oats & peanut butter, and adding an extra splash or two of milk.
Peanut Butter & Berry Oats
(makes 1 serving)
✅ ¼ cup (20 grams) rolled oats (gluten-free if possible)
✅ 1 scoop protein powder
✅ 2 tsp chia seeds
✅ ½ cup (120 ml) oat milk (or your favorite milk)
✅ ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
✅ 2 tsp peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
✅ Handful of fresh or frozen berries
Add the oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to a mason jar. Stir in the milk and vanilla. When everything is fully incorporated, add the nut butter and berries on top. Cover the jar and place in the refrigerator. Let it sit at least 90 minutes before eating. This will keep for about 3 days in the fridge.
And now for some quick grab & go options:
- Celery sticks with almond butter.
- Roasted chickpeas. It’s easy to make these yourself – rinse and dry a can of chickpeas, and then roast them in olive oil and spices. Yum!
- An apple with 1-2 Tbsp peanut butter.
- Turkey roll-ups. Simply roll up a slice of uncured deli turkey with a naturally fermented pickle or another veggie of your choice.
Making small changes can add up to GIANT results.
