Kimchi rice has quickly become my favorite post-workout meal.
It’s full of healthy fats, probiotics, protein, veggies, and glucose. Kimchi is fermented cabbage and spices and it’s the national dish of Korea. Some Korean homes even have a separate fridge just to store kimchi. I learned that on House Hunters International.
It’s quick and easy to prepare for a post-workout recovery, too. At the beginning of each week I make a batch of white rice (you can read about why I eat white rice here) so this really only takes a few minutes to throw together.

looks great!
how does your workout looks like?
Free weights, lots of squats, ab workouts. Nothing complicated.
Sounds yummy! Even though I’ve only had kimchi a couple times I love it (love sauerkraut too).
Anyway, you wrote, “you can read about why I eat white rice here” but there isn’t a link to click on.
This is the best kimchi fried rice I have ever tried! YUM!
