    Not hungry after practice? You still need to refue Not hungry after practice? You still need to refuel. 🏃♀️⚽🏀

When a full meal sounds impossible, try drinking your recovery nutrition instead. A fluid-based recovery option can be easier to tolerate while still helping your body recover and prepare for the next session.

Aim for:
✅ Carbohydrates to replenish energy stores
✅ Protein to support muscle recovery
✅ Fluids to rehydrate

Some easy examples:
🥛 Chocolate milk
🥤 Smoothie made with Greek yogurt + fruit + milk

Recovery doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes sipping your fuel is the best way to get what your body needs.
