What about chocolate bars thrown in a blender with some milk to make hot chocolate?
Actually, I've been eating a lot of sweet potatoes for dinner lately so the complex carbs in those would be good for before. And then post-workout a latte made with 1% milk.
I'm not interested in any sort of supplements or things like that.

Seriously though, not eating anything at all after a workout is not a good idea. Your body needs to replenish its lost energy stores, and the quickest way to do it is to eat right after a workout.

So what happens if you don't replenish your lost energy stores?
