Snacking is a necessity, especially after a good workout. The right snacks will aid in your recovery and help you repair muscle. Well you can’t eat just any brownie, but healthy snacking’s important, especially after a workout! I’m sharing some of my favorite post workout snacks that provide the right balance of carbs, fats, and protein to satisfy hunger, fuel workouts, and aid in recovery.
Mo-Mentum Protein Cookies

Cover dates with water, and soak them for half an hour, then drain. Blend cashews in food processor until crumbly. Add soaked dates, and blend well. Add in the rest of the ingredients, and continue to blend until incorporated. Press into a lined baking tray and set in freezer for half an hour before portioning. 1 bar = 1 serving.
