Pre-Workout Bites That Don’t Backfire
Aim for easy-to-digest carbs plus a little protein. Try a banana with Greek yogurt, rice cakes with peanut butter, or a small smoothie. Keep portions modest and fiber low to prevent heaviness. Share your perfect pre-session bite so others can try it too.
Pre-Workout Bites That Don’t Backfire
Before high-intensity mornings, simpler is better. One runner told us a small bagel and honey beat his usual oat bowl, preventing cramps mid-intervals. The lesson: match fiber to intensity. If you’ve found a pre-competition snack that never fails, tell us below.
Pre-Workout Bites That Don’t Backfire
If you often start sessions dehydrated, consider fluids part of your smart snack. A bottle of water with a pinch of salt and a splash of juice boosts palatability and balance. What’s your favorite light sip that never upsets your stomach before hard efforts?
Post-Workout Recovery, One Snack at a Time
Refill with carbohydrates, repair with 20–30 grams of protein, and rehydrate with fluids plus electrolytes. A turkey wrap with fruit and water works wonders on the go. Build your own 3R combo and share it—your idea might help a teammate recover smarter.
Snack Building Blueprint
Think three parts carbs, two parts protein, one color from produce. Example: whole-grain toast and berries (carbs), cottage cheese (protein), and spinach in an omelet if you need savory. Try the framework this week and tell us which combination surprised you.
