As personal trainers in Eindhoven, we at Aurora Personal Training often get asked: “What’s the best thing to eat after my workout?” Or: “What’s a healthy, quick breakfast that fits my fitness goals?”
Our answer is often surprisingly simple and effective: full-fat quark with fresh fruit and granola.
Full-fat quark is an excellent source of high-quality protein, fat, and calcium. While low-fat varieties are often chosen for their low fat content, full-fat quark offers greater satiety and is ideal if you want to build or maintain muscle mass.

Instructions:
1. Place the quark in a bowl and add the protein powder. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.
