These 5 pre-workout snack formulae are not only modest but need only about five ingredients (plus some kitchen basics you already have, like salt and pepper). Eat them before your workout and get fuelled up for a hard workout.
Power baked potatoes
Ingredients: 1 Russet baking potato (about 10 oz), ½ cup part-skim ricotta, ¾ cup baby spinach leaves, chopped if desired, 1½ Tbsp pesto, homemade or store bought
Carb up pre-workout with this energy-boosting spud. If you’re seeing for fewer calories, then half the potato works flawlessly, too. For an imaginative spin, use sun-dried tomato pesto instead of basil pesto. You can also switch the cottage cheese for ricotta cheese or cut it overall if dairy upsets your stomach and you want less fat.
Mediterranean toast
Ingredients: 1 slice of whole grain bread (I like Dave’s Killer Bread 21, Whole Grains & Seeds Thin-Sliced), 6 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half, 4-5 cucumber slices, about 1 inch thick, 1 Tbsp tahini, 1 Tbsp feta cheese.Salt and pepper to taste.
It’s a standout toast with unique flavour which is easy to cook and each slice of bread has only 60 calories but 21 sorts of gains, in other words it’s the fuel needed without overloading the stomach.
Pear overnight oats
Ingredients: ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup boxed coconut milk, ¼ tsp cinnamon, Pinch kosher salt, ½ cup chopped pear, 2 Tbsp granola
Lots of folk’s strain that they don’t have time to eat before an early-morning workout. Make a needful amount of overnight oats, and there’s no morning prep to care about. Just eat and go.
Pecan Granola bar
Ingredients: 1¼ cups pecan halves, 2 cups quick-cooking oats (or old-fashioned oats, pulsed briefly in a food processor or blender to break them up), 1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more to taste for pecan butter, optional), ½ tsp fine sea salt (plus more to taste for pecan butter), 1 cup homemade pecan butter or other creamy nut butter, ½ cup honey or maple syrup, 1½ tsp vanilla extract
The ones from the store are having added sugar, you can make your own to have full control over the ingredients.
Pineapple spinach smoothie
Ingredients: 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup baby spinach, 1/4 large pineapple, chopped (or 1 cup frozen cubes), 1 tsp chia seeds
Smoothies and shakes are easy to make pre-workout snacks, they essentially provide easy rounds of right carbs-protein content if down with the right ingredients. Boost your shake with some chia seeds or some peanuts for some extra boost of protein in your snack.
