Bananas are one of the most perfect pre and post workout foods as they are full of complex carbs, minerals such as potassium and fiber.
Avocado is full of good monounsaturated fats. Eating it after you’ve burned away fat exercising is a great way to replace bad fats with better ones. If you will be participating in a sustained workout, eating an avocado a few hours beforehand can provide valuable healthy fat for that energetic boost when carbohydrate depletion occurs.
Chia Seeds are optional but if try to add them! These tiny raw, gluten-free, vegan seeds are jam packed full of minerals, omega 3 fats, antioxidants, fiber and are a complete source of protein. Having chia a few hours before a long, intense workout can help provide fat for fuel after the carbs burn off. Eating them after a workout can provide tissue repairing protein.
Spinach (Think Popeye!) is a great source of dietary fiber and is one of the healthiest foods to eat after working out. Spinach also low in saturated fat and is a good source for niacin, zinc, protein, as well as many vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K.
Mangoes are full packed with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants and contain like all fruits very few proteins, fats and calories. They are perfect to replenish salts, vitamins and energy after physical exercise. http://fitfluential.com/2012/12/workout-dr
