I am one of those people that loves to eat right before I go to bed. I want to keep my muscle from breaking down for as long as possible and I just tend to sleep better on a full stomach. This is my go to pre bed meal. It packs plenty of slow digesting protein and a higher fat content (which also slows down the digestion process) to ensure my body is getting a slow release of nutrients all night. Ingredients: (adjust portions as necessary for your own caloric needs) • 2 tablespoons of melted peanut butter - Fat 16 grams Carbs 7 Protein 7 • 1 1/2 scoop of chocolate casien protein - Fat 1.5 grams Carbs 4.5 Protein 36 grams • 1/2 -1 cup of water Directions: • In a microwave safe bowl melt two tablespoons of peanut butter (25-30 seconds) • Add in 1 1/2 scoops of casein protein • Slowly start adding in the water and stirring until you have reached the desired thickness (1/2-1 cup water) • Enjoy!
