What you eat before and after your pilates session matters. Make sure you load up on carbohydrates, protein, and fiber before, and to replenish on carbohydrates, protein, and water within an hour after. Here are some handpicked places for your post-pilates meal.
Everyday Coffee Roasters
Aside from coffee, you may want to try the Banana Oat Mocha Smoothie paired with the Hilltop Fry-up for brunch, to replenish the nutrients you lost during your workout.
