Five Post Workout Healthy Snacks Available at CVS

After a good workout, I want nothing more than a warm shower and a nice meal or snack, depending on what time I work out.  After running 2 miles on the treadmill, I’m typically in desperate need for a snack to recharge my energy. I’ve discovered that CVS Pharmacy has some of the best snacks to get you recharged after a strenuous workout session.

 After my workouts, I can run to my local CVS Pharmacy and grab a delicious healthy snack option.  Did you know that CVS has added healthier options at the front of the store, and now nearly half of the foods found in CVS Pharmacy stores are “better-for-you” options? 

I’m able to grab healthy snack options such as dried fruit, hummus and even at some locations, fresh fruit.

With roughly 25 percent of the front check out space being replaced with healthy snacks, I am able to quickly grab a Larabar and bag of dried fruit to conquer my after workout hunger.

Dried Fruit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CVS Pharmacy has a wide variety of dried fruits available under the Gold Emblem brand. Grab a tasty bag of Gold Emblem Abound Fuji Apple & Cinnamon Clusters or try a bag of Gold Emblem Abound Strawberry Crisps.

Each bag contains 2 cups of fruit, no added sugar and are freeze dried to give you the perfect crunch!

Protein Bars

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you enjoy a delicious protein bar after your workout? Well CVS has you covered. From Larabar’s to thinkThin, the options are endless.

With a large variety of protein bars available you are sure to find your bar of choice. Some of my favorites include Good Greens Chocolate Chunk Bars and Pure Protein Bars.

 Fresh Fruit

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many CVS locations also carry fresh fruit. You can find banana’s, oranges, apples and other tasty fresh produce options. I always grab a banana or apple to go along with my protein bar or bag of nuts.

Trail Mix/Nuts

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love a tasty bag of trail mix or roasted almonds after my workout. CVS has one of the biggest selections of dried and roasted nuts I’ve ever seen available at a drug store. I’m obsessed with Gold Emblem brand, which offers a wide variety of nuts and trail mixes.

Some of my favorites include CVS Gold Emblem Macadamia Nuts Dry Roasted and CVS Gold Emblem Honey Roasted Peanuts. Seriously, if you enjoy a good bag of nuts check out CVS Pharmacy.

 Yogurt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With several Greek yogurt options available at CVS, you can be sure you’re getting a protein packed snack, especially with most Greek yogurt cups having on average 12 grams of protein. So if yogurt is your thing you can be sure to find a yogurt cup, like Chobani after a great workout.
