When is the best time to eat this brownie — before or after a workout? — Glazed Cookie "Cherry Brownie", 50 g - Bombbar

There are no strict rules here — the product is handy whenever you need a quick snack with no preparation. Even so, it is particularly appropriate after a workout: the blend of whey and milk protein helps cover part of the need for amino acids that arises after physical exertion. Whey protein is absorbed relatively quickly, which makes such a snack a practical option within an hour or two after exercise.

Between main meals, the brownie helps reduce hunger thanks to its dietary fibre (inulin, oligofructose), which slows gastric emptying. This can be convenient if there is a long gap between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner.

You can also eat the product before a workout, but here it is worth going by how comfortable you feel: in some people, larger amounts of dietary fibre cause a feeling of heaviness during intense exercise. If you train on an empty stomach or prefer a light snack before the gym, it is best to try it in advance and see how you react.

On the whole, this is a snack rather than sports nutrition in the strict sense: it does not replace a full meal and is not a specialised product for gaining mass or losing weight.
