Soreness Buster: Pineapple is loaded with bromelain and papain, enzymes that help minimize post-workout inflammation.
Protein Pushers: A ripe banana and blueberries will cause an insulin spike, which quickly shuttles amino acids to your depleted muscle cells.
Lean Powder: Whey protein contains leucine, an amino acid that research show can help your body preserve lean muscle tissue.
