5 best pre-workout snacks

Bananas

Bananas have natural sugar and starch that offer a much-needed burst of energy before a workout. As they're also rich in carbs, one medium-sized banana is enough to keep you going at the gym.

Oatmeal

If you work out in the morning, oatmeal can be your go-to pre-workout snack. It's instant, wholesome, and filling. It's recommended to eat it when you have less than 60 minutes before a workout.

Peanut butter sandwich

A peanut butter sandwich is a great pre-workout snack, provided it is made of whole wheat or multigrain bread. Eat it at least 45 minutes to an hour before your workout.

Fruit smoothie

A fruit smoothie is a wholesome pre-workout snack to consider. Blend one scoop of chocolate whey protein, banana, milk or water, spinach, and one tablespoon of peanut butter.

Yogurt

Yogurt has protein and calcium, making it an excellent pre-workout snack. As it is easy on the stomach and digestive tract, it's safe to consume before you go for an intense fitness session.
