Motivation lacking lately? Solve your gym slump with some ice cream. Protein powder has been the leader in the pre- and postworkout meal plan, and I’ve put a new spin it. Why drink it with a straw when you can eat it with a spoon? The thought of getting to enjoy chocolate protein ice cream after a hard workout is all the motivation I need to get in the gym. It’s low carb, low sugar and loaded with protein, which makes this new postworkout meal a crowd pleaser and muscle increaser. Get creative with your protein powders and find a flavor that fits your taste.
