Snack before bed

ad

Hi!
So, I've been eating cottage cheese or casein protein before going to bed for a while now.

Cottage cheese has casein protein which takes up to 8 hours to absorb by your system, so you don't go to a catabolic state and happily keep your gains. I know that much, love cottage cheese or straight up casein protein from ON is pretty good too.

What else can I have before bed? I need some ideas, I want something different, just to give it a try.

Any suggestions?

i love my pancakes with peanut butter, usually i use 10 egg whites and about 40gr oats, mix very well and cook for a few minutes on both sides, when it is ready, add the peanut butter and cinnamon, eat and enjoy ;)

I usually keep grilled chicken breasts in my fridge, I eat chicken before bed and usually one around 2:30 with some water and back to bed until gym time.
I'll do the casein thing on and off before bed, especially when I'm traveling.
The chicken breast at night has gotten routine enough that i can eat and be back to sleep pretty quick.
