Apple Pie Protein Yogurt Bowl

Apple pie protein yogurt bowls are such an easy and nutritious start to your day, afternoon snack, post workout snack/meal and even as a dessert! 

Apples are my favorite fall produce and pairs well with most anything, really! So far, I have apple pie granola, cinnamon apple streusel muffins, adrenal cream cider, apple butter, apple cider churro donuts and gut nourishing stewed apples on the site. Needless to say, I’m mildly obsessed with all things apples! 

You can enjoy this apple pie protein yogurt bowl for breakfast, an afternoon snack, post workout snack/meal and even for dessert! The beauty about this recipe is that it’s macro balanced which means it will not spike your blood sugar. 

Lately, I have been enjoying these apple pie protein yogurt bowls post workout. Mainly, because it is so important to have a macronutrient balanced post snack or meal to replenish glycogen stores, support muscle recovery, support muscle growth and optimize performance for the next gym session! 

After a workout, it is best to consume carbohydrates, protein and fluids! 

Carbohydrates - Are able to replenish stored glycogen and initiate the recovery process. 

• Apples, oats, and granola 

Protein - Vital component in recovery as it helps to repair and rebuild muscles.

• Plain greek yogurt (particularly the highest in protein) and protein powder

Fluids - Help to replenish the body with fluids lost through perspiration during exercise. 

• Water, electrolytes, and fresh fruits (apples!)

Apple pie protein yogurt bowls are a winning combo! 

Other great post-workout snacks include eggs and sourdough or ezekiel bread toast, yogurt and granola, cottage cheese and fruit, protein shake, hummus and veggie sticks, tuna and crackers, and a meat stick and fresh fruit.
