Real food alternatives to post exercise protein shake

OOOh thanks for reminding me about this. One of my favorite things is healthy fried rice. Brown rice is perfect for fried rice, and actually lasts quite a long time in the fridge. Its firmness I think makes it last longer, and holds up better to being recooked in a pan.

Brown rice, some veggies (I like frozen peas, plus some onion or green onion), egg or egg white, fish sauce, soy sauce, and the chili/garlic sauce that comes in the clear container with the green lid. Can never remember what the stuff is called…but a spoonful or two of that with fried rice is fantastic. Make it in a non-stick pan…don’t really even need oil.

Spicy, salty, tons of flavor, a hit of protein, very filling, and healthy. Checks all the boxes IMO.
