This is a small list of my standby snacks for pre-workout fuel. In most cases, they are also beneficial for post-workout repair. I am cautious eating food with too much sugar (ie. carbs) and prefer something higher in protein for muscle repair and build. A smoothie loaded with plant-based protein (see below) is a good alternative if, like me, you avoid blending with too much sugary fruits.
Summer is on its way! ‘Tis the season for summertime beverages to quench our thirst. Along with those bevies comes high sugar – high calories and maybe some unwanted pounds?
