After a body-shocking, hardcore workout, your muscles are crying for nutrients, and they want them now. Ideally, it’s best practice to stick with a traditional clean protein and carbohydrate shake or meal, but if you’re craving junk or it’s your only option, you can still make gains.

Some foods that are surprisingly beneficial:
- Bagel with Jelly
- Ice Cream
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
- Chocolate Milk
- Children’s Sugary Cereal
See below for why each of these are a solid option as a surprisingly beneficial post-workout food.
