Favorite Pre-Workout Noms

We all know that working out is only half the battle; nutrition is a vital component to not only reach and maintain our fitness goals, but to also fuel us for our active lifestyles!


With out the proper nutrition, we can try and try to live a healthy lifestyle, but ultimately it will crumble.

Now that it is not to say to completely exclude anything from our diets that is not considered "nutritious." Balance is key and moderation is a bliss. But to fuel our bodies correctly, and to make the most of our fitness goals, nutrient dense foods should always be a priority, especially around our workouts.

Now, breakfast is my faaavorite part of the day, and it also happens to be my "pre-workout" meal, as I prefer to workout in the mornings (and it fits my schedule best.)

So I put together a few of my absolute favorite pre-workout NOMS

1. Greek Yogurt, Berries, Honey and Granola

(Pictured)

-Oikos Strawberry triple Greek Yogurt (I usually use Fage 0% because it has the best macros, but I decided on a treat yo'self moment )

-1/2 tbsp of Raw Organic Honey

-1 cup of Cottle Farms Organic Blueberries

-1/2 cup of granola


This is a great pre-workout because it is jam packed with simple carbs that will serve as mega fuel for a mega workout. Carbs are not the enemy, especially around your workouts. The simple sugars found in the honey, fruit, yogurt, and granola are energy boosters, and muscle saviors.

Of course not only are you super charging, but the antioxidants from the berries, and the enzymes in Greek yogurt are providing your body with super nutrition to start your day!

2. Overnight Oats

-1/2 Cup of Bob Mills Gluten free Oats
-1/2 serving of Almond Breeze Original Almond Mill
-1/3 tbsp of Raw Organic Honey

-Mix together and leave over night to refrigerate

Topped with:
-1/2 serving of Peanut Butter
-1 Cup of berries (or) 1/2-1 banana

This is an obvious one....I have and always will love my oats! They are so amazing and they have so many nutritious benefits; pre workout benefits also.

Oats truly are a superfood, and if you don't currently have them diet, you should definitely consider including them! You can google "benefits of oats" and pages upon pages of all the wonders that oats provides the body will surface.

In just, oats are jamm-packed with dietary fiber, which helps with digestion, controlling blood levels, and improving nutrient absorption.

On top of that, oats have B vitamins that work to convert carbohydrates into good forms of energy for your workout adventures. I love to pair berries/strawberries (my fave) or a banana for an even greater carbohydrate boost.

Personally I love oats overnight, because I enjoy them cold over being warm. Which ever way you prefer, oats are amazing and should not be left out!

3. Egg White Wrap

-1 whole egg
-2-3 egg whites
-1 cup of spinach
-1 Food For Life Brown Rice Tortilla
-1 serving of Soy Free Veganaise

Toppings:
-Pinch of Salt
-Some Pepper
-Siracha Hot Sauce

When I am in the mood for something savory, this is my go-to. I am obsessed with egg sandwiches, and I can't always find the healthiest of options in stores. So I make my own!

Eggs, as we all know, are probably one of the most nutritious staples of a healthy diet. Full of vitamins, healthy fats, and protein, eggs have been and always will be a breakfast staple.

For pre workout, I like to pair one whole egg with 2-3 egg whites, spinach, Veganaise Mayo, and Siracha, all layered on a Brown Rice tortilla. It is sooo good and such a tasty meal to have before a hard days work at the gym.

These are some of my favorite pre-workout recipes, and hopefully it offered some insight, ideas, and foodie inspiration!

And with that I sign off,
