A Powerful Post Morning Workout Sandwich

There’s nothing like a great and healthy sandwich to help the body recover after an intense workout.

If lm not working out in the morning, my breakfast consists of 2 cups of cooked oatmeal, 2 slices of whole what bread, and Fuji apple.  If I am working out however, the morning menu undergoes a slight transformation.

I present the Post Workout Morning Sandwich.  It contains a heaping dose of healthy protein, healthy carbohydrates, a nice helping of fiber, and good fats to help you start the day right.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup of egg whites – 20 grams of protein
  • 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter – 3.5 grams of protein, good fats
  • 2 slices of Arnold’s Double Grain and More Double Oat Bread – 10 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, good carbohydrates
  • 2 tsp of Smart Balance Buttery Spread, more good fats

Cook egg whites until well-done.  Spread the peanut butter on one slice, and butter spread on the other.  Insert egg whites and voila!

Beef up the sandwich some more by adding some greens and tomatoes.
