My post training smoothie is the perfect on-the-go meal. It's quick and easy to make and super convenient to drink on the way from swimming to gym. It allows me to recover and refuel myself after my swim session, as well as ensures I have enough energy to keep me going for the next session.

These Protein Bites are the perfect convenient recovery meal when you’re away from home. Grab a few to keep in your gym bag or in your car to have immediately after training.
