The Ultimate Post-Run Breakfast for Recovery

The Ultimate Post-Run Breakfast for Recovery

You’ve just smashed a big session — whether it was a long run, a HYROX workout, or a brutal brick session. Now it’s time to refuel right. One of the simplest, fastest, and most effective ways to recover post-run? Protein Weet-Bix.

Here’s why it works and how to make it:

Why Protein Weet-Bix is a Recovery Weapon

After endurance training, your body’s priority is to:

  • Replenish glycogen (carbohydrate stores)
  • Repair muscle tissue with protein
  • Rehydrate and restore electrolytes

Protein Weet-Bix ticks every box: 

✅ Fast-absorbing carbs from Weet-Bix and honey (great balance of glucose and fructose for maximum carb uptake)
High-quality protein from your favourite choc protein powder (we suggest a grass-fed whey or natural plant based protein)
Antioxidants and nutrients from fresh blueberries
Hydration and electrolytes, when paired with our Endurance Fuel

What You’ll Need:

  • 7 Weet-Bix (or as many as required to meet your individual requirements)
  • 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
  • Milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Honey (for extra fast-acting carbs)
  • A handful of blueberries
  • Pulse Nutrition Endurance Fuel 

How to Make It:

  1. Break 7 Weet-Bix into a bowl.
  2. Mix 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder with a little milk to form a smooth mixture.
  3. Pour the remaining milk over the Weet-Bix.
  4. Drizzle generously with honey.
  5. Top with a handful of fresh blueberries.
  6. Mix up a serving of Pulse Endurance Fuel with 500 - 750ml of water, to sip alongside, replacing lost electrolytes and continuing your carb replenishment.

Why It’s Better Than a Shake Alone

While protein shakes are fine, this combo gives you:

  • More sustained energy thanks to complex carbs
  • A better carb-to-protein ratio for glycogen and muscle recovery
  • Electrolytes to replace what you lost through sweat
  • Antioxidants from blueberries to support recovery

It’s a complete, no-fuss breakfast that actually leaves you satisfied and properly fuelled for the rest of the day.
