Active Recovery Snacks That Work

Collagen gummy tray

Simmer tart cherry juice with grass-fed gelatin, magnesium glycinate, and orange zest. Pour into molds for sleep-friendly recovery gummies rich in vitamin C.

Savory trail mix

Combine goji berries, pumpkin seeds, dried pineapple, coconut flakes, and salted cashews. Dust with beet powder so nitric oxide stays elevated for the next session.

Chill tonic

Coconut water + aloe juice + pinch of sea salt + rhodiola tincture over ice. Sip after sauna or HIIT to replenish plasma volume and calm the HPA axis.

Field note: Pair 15 g collagen + vitamin C 30 minutes before eccentric training to feed tendons when they’re most receptive.
