Here's What to Eat Before a Workout

Need some ideas for what to eat before you workout? 

Here's a list of my favorite grab & go pre-workout snacks!

Don’t let the “pre-workout” label fool you – they actually make for a healthy snack any time of day!

These snacks all have 3 things in common.

They are portable, require almost no effort to prepare, and they taste great.

And even better… they won’t weigh you down during your workout.

1. 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter on a medium banana or an apple.
2. 100 calorie package of nuts
3. ½ cup (40 g) (dry) oatmeal with 1 cup (240 ml) of your favorite milk and handful of berries
4. 2 rice cakes with 1 tbsp almond butter and banana slices
5. 1 hard-boiled egg with handful of berries or grapes
6. Deli meat roll-ups: 2-3 slices of uncured turkey rolled up inside a mini whole-grain tortilla
7. Single serving (150 g) of low-fat, low-sugar Greek yogurt. 

My first choice is the rice cake snack which I like because it is a good combo of protein, fat and carbs, and it’s crunchy and sweet.

My second choice is yogurt which I like because I can just grab a single serving a container from the kitchen and I’m ready to go, not to mention it's great for your gut!

My third choice hard-boiled eggs with fruit which I like because it's high protein and portable with a small ice pack. This is usually what I bring in the morning to snack on between clients.

The whole idea of a pre-workout snack is to give your body the right amount of fuel to make it through your workout feeling strong, without a rumbling stomach by the end!
