5 foods that will boost your recovery after a run.

Here is a breakdown of why these foods, and others, are great for a post-run snack and physical recovery.

Greek Yogurt is a great protein source. Your muscles get broken down during a workout, and protein is key for building them up again.

Sweets like dark chocolate and tart cherries are a nutritious source for antioxidants. You will not feel guilty snacking on this treat.

Although avocado toast is a trendy choice for a snack, it offers a great balance of monounsaturated fats and whole grains. Sprinkle on a bit of salt for extra sodium.

Protein-packed, superfood fish choices like sardines and salmon are one of the best sources of fatty omega 3 acids, which strengthen your bones and prevent osteoporosis.
