Thermo-Style Fried Plantains

Your pre- and post-workout nutrition is important to fuel your body with the energy needed for your workout. It also plays a key role in replenishing your body after pushing yourself to the maximum. And while there are plenty of different foods that would make great bases for pre- and post-workout meals, bananas and plantains are usually high up on the list.

Plantains are one of those “good” types of carbs that your body needs after a workout. These quick-acting carbs can help restore your body’s glycogen levels, which are important in rebuilding damaged muscle fibers. Not only that, but they fuel the body with plenty of potassium. You don’t want all that hard work you put forth to go to waste, so make sure to fuel your body accordingly with a healthy dish like this fried plantains recipe!
