I'm someone who loves to eat before a workout because I find that it
gives me heaps of extra energy to exercise harder and longer! Sometimes
the difference between eating something or not can determine how much
you get out of your workout.
Almonds are known for all of their amazing health benefits including;
lowering of cholesterol levels, high in antioxidants and healthy fats as
well as providing magnesium, potassium and vitamin E. What makes them
perfect for snacking on before a workout is that they are a great source
of protein and they give you heaps of energy.
Bananas
This fruit is an amazing source of natural energy as they are packed
with vitamins and minerals! If I am feeling tired of sluggish, these
always fill me with extra energy without the crash that you would get
with caffeine or sugar. It's like natures energy bar!
These little berries are packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals
and amino acids! Super high in antioxidants with a score of 25,300
compared to blueberries which are 2,400. They include 18 amino acids
making them a complete protein, 21 minerals and super high in Vitamin A
and C.
Coconut Butter
I love to have a couple of spoonfuls of coconut butter before I workout
because it is a great source of natural energy and it also promotes
weight loss! If you click on the title above, it will take you to a
whole other article I wrote about the benefits of coconut butter!
Greek Yoghurt
Yoghurt is in general an amazing source of protein and calcium. However,
Greek yoghurt is even better as it has less sugar and usually low or no
fat. It's also much creamier which will fill you up for longer and
leave you more satisfied and is usually less processed!
Coffee is a great pre workout drink as caffeine can help you get pumper up and energised to work out. It increases your heart rate so you burn more calories and work out longer and harder. It helps you go faster and feel less tired as well as make you feel better about your workout.
