Can you suggest some healthy pre and post-workout snack ideas?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, we can definitely recommend some healthy pre and post-workout snack ideas. For pre-workout fuel, you can go for a combination of carbohydrates and protein. Some options include a banana with peanut butter, Greek yogurt with berries, or a handful of almonds with a piece of fruit. These snacks provide energy and help to sustain you during your workout. Post-workout snacks should focus on replenishing glycogen stores and promoting muscle recovery. Opt for a mix of protein and healthy carbohydrates. Some great choices include a protein shake with a banana, a turkey or chicken wrap with whole grain bread and vegetables, or a cup of low-fat cottage cheese with sliced apple. These snacks aid in repairing and rebuilding muscles, aiding in recovery. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout your workout and after to stay hydrated.
