We have got you covered.

Nothing works up an appetite quite like hitting the gym. Whether you're into spin, HIIT, or lifting weights, you're guaranteed to feel a little peckish after your workout. Instead of grabbing yourself a chocolate bar or a bag of crisps, it's important that you refuel your body and feed it all the goodness that it needs to recover. We have rounded up our top five favourite post-gym snacks that you can make in ten minutes or less. Apple with almond butter This is a great post-gym snack if you've got a bit of a sweet tooth. Almond butter is a great source of protein which will help your muscles recover after a tough session. Hummus and pita bread Good news if you've got a serious hummus addiction. Hummus on whole wheat pita bread is a great snack when you're in a hurry. Hummus is packed full of protein thanks to all those chickpeas and the whole wheat pita is a great slow-release carb that will keep you fuller for longer. Yum! Sweet potatoes  Sweet potatoes are a great post-workout snack because they are packed with vitamins and nutrients including vitamins B6, C, D, iron, magnesium and potassium. The carbs in sweet potatoes are also great for replenishing your glycogen stores after a burst of exercise. Grab some pre-prepared frozen sweet potatoes if you're short on time and eat them with some form of protein. Greek yoghurt and berries Greek yoghurt is a great nutrient-dense snack that is packed with protein. Tasty berries will provide you with an anti-oxidant boost too. Avocado protein smoothie Pop half an avocado, one banana, some protein powder and a little bit of water in a blender and blitz. It's the perfect summer smoothie and it only takes a few minutes to make. Plus you'll be one step closer to hitting your five-a-day.
