1. Oatmeal  

Start your day off right with a bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh fruit. Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate that provides a steady release of energy, perfect for powering through intense workouts. 

The fiber content helps keep you feeling full and satisfied, while the natural sugars from the fruit provide a quick energy boost.

2. Greek Yogurt  

Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein and can help fuel your muscles during workouts. Opt for plain Greek yogurt and add your own mix-ins like berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor. 

The combination of protein and carbohydrates makes Greek yogurt an ideal pre-workout snack for sustained energy and muscle recovery.

3. Banana  

Bananas are nature's perfect pre-workout snack, providing a quick source of carbohydrates and potassium to fuel your workouts. The natural sugars in bananas provide a rapid energy boost, while the potassium helps prevent muscle cramps and fatigue. 

Enjoy a banana on its own or pair it with a spoonful of almond butter for added protein and staying power.
