The Secret to Crushing Your Post-Workout Refuel with Neat Nutrition

We’re super excited to have partnered up with our friends over at Neat Nutrition! If you’ve never met Neat before, they’re here to make your life easier by offering bespoke protein subscription plans based on your own personal goals and needs. Founded by two former GB swimmers, Lee & Charlie, their protein powders are made with only the best-quality ingredients and nothing else.

We took the opportunity to talk to the guys at Neat and get their top tips for post-workout nutrition – perfect for refueling after an intense JetSweat workout!

Focus on Protein & Carbs

For speedy post-workout recovery, you ideally need to get 20-30g of protein and twice the amount of carbohydrates.

If you don’t have time to spend ages in the kitchen, this is where a handy whey or vegan protein shake comes in. Mix it with water or milk for a quick and convenient way to get plenty of protein to your muscles!

Make Your Carbs Complex

Choose your carbohydrates wisely! Complex carbs contain starch and fibre, meaning they’ll release energy much more slowly and take longer to digest. This will prevent sudden spikes and crashes in your blood sugar that have you craving a chocolate bar mid-afternoon.

Keep it Simple

Being busy people, we don’t have time for spending hours at the grocery store searching for ingredients to create a complicated post-workout meal. Neat proteins focus on quality and keep things simple. A smoothie with a sachet of protein powder, fruit, veggies and nut milk is our favorite way to refuel in a hurry.

Rehydrate

Often overlooked, taking in plenty of water is probably the best thing you can do post-workout – especially after a HIIT class. You need to replenish everything you’ve sweated out! Instead of grabbing a sugary sports drink, try sipping on a glass of coconut water to balance your electrolytes.

If you haven’t tried Neat Nutrition’s protein powders before, their Starter Box is exactly what you need. You can choose 4 sachets of your choice to try, and they’ll even throw in a free shaker too!
