Healthy snacking

Do you take protein shakes at night? A protein shake at night made with milk instead of water and maybe a bit of fruit and yoghurt thrown in as well as a smoothie makes a great snack and is good - if you're weightlifting that is - to take shortly before you sleep.

Although some protein shakes taste a bit gank, so you could try something like Spiritulina? Or however its spelt. It's still high in protein and tastes pretty good and comes in a good few flavours.

If its something you want to just nibble on I suppose maybe a bit of fruit is better then tayto but hardly leaves you feeling satisfied. At night I usually eat a few plain rich tea biscuits or salted crackers myself. A good thing to eat would be just some lean meat - high in protein and low in carbs which is what you'd want late at night. But again, eating meat late at night just isn't everybodies thing. I've eat anything, anytime though. Last time out after a night clubbing I sat down outside the club waiting for a taxi with a big packet of chicken and a pint of skimmed milk from the nearby 24 hour. Beats eating ****e at supermacs!

I made a really strange snack last night in the blender - Cyclone protein mix, disgestive biscuits, honey, natural yoghurt, ice, milk, banana and a few other bits. It was great. Not so great for me, but great nonetheless. It was post workout though so I guess it wasn't so bad really.
