FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends 150g of cottage cheese before sleep to nourish muscles overnight. Add 1 teaspoon of cocoa or a few pieces of dark chocolate to create a healthy nighttime dessert that satisfies sweet cravings. Consumed 30 minutes before bedtime, casein provides amino acids for 6-8 hours of muscle synthesis.
