Suggestions for Post-game Snacks

• Peanut butter crackers
• Yogurt with cereal
• Bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter
Many teens these days think that post-game/post-practice snacks should be full of protein, but that is actually not the case. Although protein can be good after activity, carbohydrates are equally if not more important to have. Instead of chugging down a protein shake, try out one of the healthy, more balanced snacks listed above. For optimal benefit, it is recommended that the snacks be eaten within 30 minutes after a game or practice. (http://www.momentummedia.com/articles/tc/tc1503/fuelingfootball.htm)
