🥜 Pair it with a protein source

Smart snacks can help athletes stay energized, recover better, and keep up with busy training schedules. Fuel with purpose between meals! 🥗

🥤 Stay on a consistent fuel and hydration schedule
🍽️ Build balanced plates with carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables

    As temperatures start heating up this summer, post As temperatures start heating up this summer, post-workout hydration matters more than ever. ☀️💧

Sweating during training means you’re losing both fluid and electrolytes — and recovery doesn’t stop when practice ends.

A good goal after workouts:
➡️ Drink 16–24 ounces of fluid for every pound lost during exercise.

Rehydrating properly can help support:
⚡ Recovery
💪 Performance
🧠 Focus
🏃 Endurance
🔥 Heat safety

Pair your fluids with a balanced recovery snack or meal containing carbohydrates and protein to help your body fully recover and refuel.

Hydration is part of the training plan — especially in the summer heat. 🥤
