We all have our reasons for donating blood. If snacking on Nutter Butters is yours, that’s okay with us. 

Even if you’re a regular blood donor, remember to fuel up after your donation. Taking some time to enjoy snacks, juice or water helps your body recover.

Here’s what else you should know:
- Keep the strip bandage on for several hours before removing. 
- Avoid heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. 
- Keep eating iron-rich food. 
- If you donate frequently, take multivitamins with iron to replenish your iron stores before your next donation.
