Here at UNiDAYS we’ve got loads of fab pre and post work out snacks to help you make the most of your workouts!... Pre Peanut Butter & banana on toast This is our personal favourite, so quick, purse friendly and super tasty! Carbs aren’t the enemy and the key is to have a mixed bag of complex and simple carbs so you get a slow release of energy throughout your workout. Stick to brown/seeded bread and the My Protein peanut butter from The Hut is delish! If you wanna spice things up a bit try a sprinkle of cinnamon over the top, spice has been linked to stabilising blood sugar and improving brain function – definite added bonus! c/o thehut.com Smoothies Smoothies are great as you can make a bunch of variations! We love mixed fruit ones but peanut butter and banana smoothies are pretty yum too! Fruit is packed full of vitamins and sugar to give you a quick energy boost before your workout! You can also add granola to change up the consistency, just be sure to add ice to your smoothies, makes all the difference! Apple wedges Apple wedges are a super cheap, nutritious, quick pre work out snack! They’re another great energy kick rather than sugar rush so you don’t crash out of your workout! There’s also loads of other toppings to try like almond butter, peanut butter and cashew butter! Post Salmon & avocado Salmon is full of protein and omega-3 fatty acids which are great for a rapid recovery and help build muscle! They’re also packed with vitamins D, B6 and B12 which is a great energy boost after all your hard work! Avocado contains saturated (good) fats and loaded with potassium! It’s also super tasty and super simple to make! ‌ Omelette cups Omelette cups are a great alternative to an omelette, which too are great too but we think they're pretty amazing! They’re high in protein and amino acids which helps to rebuild damaged tissues after a tough workout! You can add your fave veggies, we think bacon and spinach would be a great combo, plus spinach is full of iron and vitamins too! Chicken & sweet potato bake This chicken and sweet potato bake is super easy to make, just whack it all in the oven and you’re good to go! Sweet potato is a brill alternative to more starchy carbs like potatoes and they’re full of complex carbs to help restore glycogen levels (energy storage, basically), which get depleted after a workout. Chicken is full of protein, omega-3 AND amino acid, so perfect post workout! We hope these pre and post work out snack ideas get your taste buds going!
