Pre and Post-Workout Snacks from Refresh

Whether you’re squeezing in a workout on your lunch break or heading straight to the gym after dropping the kids off at school, having the right snack can make a huge difference in both workout performance and recovery. Vending machines provide the perfect opportunity to fuel up and recover when you’re on the go or in a hurry. With vending machines becoming more common in offices and fitness centers, it’s easier than ever to stay consistent with your health goals, even during a busy day.

Choosing the right pre-workout snack will ensure your body has the energy and strength needed for an incredible workout. A combination of carbohydrates, protein, and a little bit of fat is ideal to have before a workout. A Kind Bar or Protein Energy Bites are a perfect light pre-workout snack, offering a mix of carbohydrates and protein. If you’re having a snack several hours before your workout, opt for some fresh boiled eggs or almonds. Celsius and C4 Energy are great drink options if you need an energy boost prior to your workout.

If you’re looking for a quick post-workout meal or snack, Refresh has you covered. Eating protein-filled food after a workout is a great way to support muscle recovery, giving your muscles the amino acids they need to repair and rebuild. If you need a quick meal after your workout, we recommend one of our wraps, including a Buffalo Chicken Tender Wrap, a Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, and an Italian Wrap. Muscle Milk, string cheese, and fresh boiled eggs are also high in protein and great to have after a workout. Grab a Propel with your snack to ensure your body is well hydrated after your workout.

Incorporating the right snacks into your fitness routine can have a positive impact on your overall performance and recovery. Healthy snack options are now more accessible than ever. Whether you're fueling up before a workout or refueling afterward, having access to quality snacks ensures you stay energized and on track with your fitness journey.
