Fuel Your Workout with Protein Shakes

25 September 2025

How SAINT Studios’ Protein Shakes Power You Pre- and Post-Training

Fuel Your Workout, Your Way:

At SAINT Studios, we believe in movement, music, connection, and in fuelling your body so you can feel and perform and recover your best. That’s where the Refuel Hub comes in. Our six nutrient-packed protein shakes are designed to support you before or after training, with the right blend of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and superfood extras to suit your personal goals and preferences.

Pre- and post-workout nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all – Everyone’s body, schedule, and training style are different. Some people love a shake an hour before they train for extra energy; others prefer to refuel after a sweat session to kickstart recovery.

Ryan Baronet, Co-Founder and Head of Train at SAINT Studios discusses his recommendations for fuelling your body while working out.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Carbohydrates before training = more energy and performance.

• Protein after training = better recovery, repair, and muscle support.

• Healthy fats = slow-burning energy, reduced inflammation, and better nutrient absorption for recovery.

• Hydration, gut health, and immune support? They matter every time.

Pre vs Post Workout Protein Pre vs Post Workout Protein

All six of our shakes can be enjoyed pre- or post-workout

The best choice depends on your timing, tolerance, and goals.
Let’s break it down:

1. Blueberry Oats

Ingredients: Blueberries, banana, oats, peanut butter, protein, oat milk.

Best for: A slow-burning energy boost pre-workout or a filling, recovery-focused post-workout shake.

The oats give you complex carbs for long-lasting fuel, while blueberries deliver antioxidants to fight workout stress. Peanut butter adds healthy fats for sustained energy and reduced inflammation, making it ideal if you’ve got a couple of hours before training or need a meal-replacement post-workout.

2. Cacao Club 

Ingredients: Cacao Nibs, dates, banana, peanut butter, protein, Himalayan salt, oat Milk

Best for: Pre- or post-workout, especially if you want fast carbs and electrolytes.

Dates deliver quick-acting carbs for energy pre-workout or glycogen replenishment post-training. Himalayan salt replaces electrolytes lost in sweat, while healthy fats from peanut butter help balance blood sugar and support recovery. Rich cacao flavour + functional fuel = win-win.

3. SAINT Green

 Ingredients: Spirulina, spinach, banana, vanilla protein, pineapple, coconut water.

Best for: Gut health, hydration, and a nutrient boost before or after training.

The combination of spirulina, spinach, frozen fruit, protein, and coconut water support gut health, aid recovery, boost hydration, and deliver essential vitamins and minerals for optimal nutrient absorption and overall vitality.

4. The Glow

 Ingredients: Turmeric, black pepper, collagen mango, banana, oat milk, vanilla protein.

Best for: Fighting inflammation post-workout or giving a gentle energy boost before.

Combining turmeric, black pepper, collagen, fruit, and protein to reduce inflammation, support skin health, and aid recovery, with black pepper enhancing turmeric’s anti-inflammatory effects for maximum wellness benefits.

5. Rise and Grind

Ingredients: Espresso shot, banana, dates, oat milk, almond butter, vanilla protein.

Best for: Pre-workout energy or a post-workout pick-me-up.

Espresso delivers caffeine for focus and energy, while dates and banana provide quick-digesting carbs. Healthy fats in oat milk keep your energy stable and support recovery alongside protein post-training – Perfect for early risers or anyone needing that extra push.

6. The Revival

Ingredients: Coconut water, cucumber, ginger, cayenne pepper, vitamin D3, lemon, pineapple

Best for: Immune support and hydration, especially in colder months. 

Unlike the others, this one isn’t protein-heavy. Instead, it’s an immune-boosting, hydrating elixir with ginger, cayenne, and vitamin D to fight stress and support recovery – While it doesn’t have the adequate fats or proteins for muscle repair, it’s perfect for post-training when your immune system needs a lift.

Pre-Workout vs. Post-Workout: How to Choose

Pre-Workout:

Focus on energy – Carbs such as banana, dates, or oats give you fuel; fats keep it steady for longer sessions. For quick energy, go for lighter shakes (Rise & Grind, SAINT Green). For longer digestion time, try Blueberry Oats or Cacao Club.

Post-Workout:

Recovery is key – Protein helps repair muscles, Carbs help replace glycogen stores,  while fats reduce inflammation and support nutrient absorption. Electrolytes and hydration matter, too (Cacao Club, The Glow, Blueberry Oats).

At SAINT Studios, every shake has a purpose - but it’s also about what feels good for you. Whether you want energy before training, recovery after, or immune support year-round, the Refuel Hub has a shake to match your needs.
