Easy to digest snacks for your pre-workout

Choosing the right pre-workout snack can help optimize performance and energy levels. Here are some easy-to-digest snacks you can enjoy before your workout:

• Banana: Packed with potassium and carbohydrates for a quick energy boost.
• Greek yogurt with honey: Offers protein and easily digestible sugars to enhance performance.
• Oatmeal with cinnamon: A gentle source of sustained energy.
• Small handful of nuts: Provides healthy fats and protein without being heavy on the stomach.
• Smoothie: Blend fruits with a scoop of protein powder for a quick, nutritious option.
• Stay hydrated: Adequate hydration is also an important part of nutrition.

Ideally, consume these snacks about 1-4 hours before your workout to maximize energy levels while minimizing the risk of digestive discomfort. If you eat less than an hour before your workout choose a smaller snack. Remember that individuals vary with how well they tolerate eating before work outs but in general, duration and intensity of the workout, sex of person age and fitness level can all have an impact.
