Thanks for the suggestion Troy! I will have to look into those. Especially with baseball season coming up…

Thanks for the comment Shannon. Good point on the processed foods. My son usually doesn’t want to eat a lot right after a game but within an hour or so we need to get a meal into him!

These are all good suggestions…my wife and I always try to bring healthy after-game snacks when it is our turn (all the parents on the team take a turn)…I can think of few things more irritating than when parents show up after the game with Twinkies and soda.

Another suggestion for drinks: There is a product called First Juice, that is an organic fruit/veggie juice that is low in sugar (50% less than 100% juice)…so it’s not sweet, but it is healthy and fun. It comes in cool, reusable sippy cups too, so it is perfect for after the game. It’s always a hit.

Great suggestions. Bananas are always good for replenishing energy. Processed foods are not the way to go, game or no game. Would a hearty meal be advisable or safe after a game or exercise?

Looks like a nice recipe to me. I will try this tomorrow for sure.
