People like shakes because they’re quick and easy, and you can be confident that you’re getting both protein and carbs to replenish your stores. They’re also really portable for when you’re travelling. For a multi-game day with a focus on whole foods, you could look at something more substantial for breakfast – 1-2oz protein, some fruit, at least one vegetable serving, and a starchy carb – maybe some whole grain oats or a baked potato. For your between game snack – you’d also want 1-2oz lean meat or protein equivalent, fruit – especially bananas, and an easily digestible carb like potatoes, sweet potatoes, or rice. Pick something familiar that makes you feel light and ready for action, nothing too heavy or rich.
