Besides being just plain delicious, these Post-Workout Recovery Peanut Clusters are a better-for-you snack because they’re made with a variety of wholesome ingredients that also aid in exercise recovery.

Check out the all-star cast of ingredients:

  • Peanuts: One serving of Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts delivers 7 grams of protein and 6 essential nutrients, which can help in exercise recovery and muscle repair.
  • Dried cherries: Recent sports nutrition research has shown that cherries have amazing anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce post-exercise muscle soreness and joint pain.
  • Cinnamon: Cinnamon has also been shown to reduce inflammation and ease muscle soreness in athletes.
  • Honey + brown rice sugar: These easy-to-digest carbohydrates are important to restoring depleted glycogen stores after exercise.
