Hello everyone! In today’s blog post you will learn what to eat before and after a workout.
Pre-Workout
For a pre-workout snack, you will want something light.
If your workout begins within 2 hours, drink a light protein smoothie.
Use non-dairy milk, protein powder, banana, and greens. Blend in a blender and enjoy!
If your workout beings within an hour, eat a banana and raw trail mix.
Here’s an easy raw trail mix recipe:
1 C OF PUMPKIN SEEDS
1 CUP OF SUNFLOWER SEEDS
1 CUP OF CASHEWS
1 CUP OF WALNUTS
1 CUP OF ALMONDS
RAISINS (OPTIONAL)
SOAK NUTS OVERNIGHT IN SEPARATE BOWLS
RINSE UNTIL CLEAR
ADD A PINCH OF SEA SALT
PUT NUTS ONTO A COOKIE SHEET AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE SEPARATED
POP IN DEHYDRATOR OR OVEN AT THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE FOR NUTS TO DRY, NOT COOK
ADD ORGANIC RAISINS
