Whey protein is an excellent post-workout option—but that doesn’t mean you need to drink a shake. You can eat your whey instead!
Ricotta cheese is rich in whey protein. Think of the classic nursery rhyme: curds and whey. In that analogy, cottage cheese is the curds, and ricotta cheese is the whey.
Growing up, we used to eat fresh ricotta with a sprinkle of sugar. The taste was unbeatable, especially when the ricotta was freshly made.
Of course, sugar isn’t ideal if you’re concerned about your health or body composition. A smarter substitute is the amino acid glycine. Glycine is naturally sweet and has the added benefit of lowering both cortisol and adrenaline—making it a great choice for post-workout recovery.
Bottom Line: Sprinkle a teaspoon of glycine and a handful of organic berries over ricotta cheese for a delicious, muscle-building post-workout meal.
