“Try to stay away from sports drinks or sugary drinks before your workouts. You don’t want to spike your blood sugar and insulin levels prior to working out. One of my pre-workout snacks is an apple with almond butter. It is the perfect mix of carbs and protein. If you are on the go, I also recommend grabbing a Kind Bar with protein or a Quest Bar. After your workout is the best time to have carbohydrates. I prefer a wrap with grilled chicken (for protein), vegetables and a sweet potato. Protein shakes are also a great option if you are on the go as they are a great source of carbohydrates and protein.”
