Just as with a car engine, your body needs fuel to run (or bike, swim, hike, climb, ski, etc.), particularly at higher intensity levels when you’re active. These recipes are designed to ensure that you restore what your body has lost during intensive training. If the body does not recoup spent energy (generally carbohydrates/sugar) as quickly as possible, it will most likely tap muscle tissue for immediate metabolic needs, which in turn intensifies a post-inflammatory response. In other words, your body will have a difficult time recovering, healing and getting stronger if it’s not given the right fuel post-workout. These plant-based recipes will help.
