Sometimes it’s difficult to find the time to workout during the work week, let alone plan meals around your workout schedule. That’s why these three no-cook recipes make eating lunch or dinner after a workout easy. Each one takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and is also packed with protein to keep you feeling healthy well after the workout ends.
Each one of these recipes is designed for a single person, but can easily be multiplied. For the smoked salmon salad and gazpacho, feel free to add more lemon juice or olive oil depending on your taste preference.
