Favorite Workout Breakfast

"You will lose it in your gym class if you want 'till noon to eat."

(If you don't know that quote check out "Breakfast" by Newsboys)

Breakfast is extremely important to fuel your body for not only a healthy body, but also a good workout. A good preworkout breakfast is something that provides easily digestible energy so it will give you the energy for the workout without sitting like a rock in your stomach. Post-workout you can east something heavier. Here are my favorites.

Preworkout:

- Banana

- Bowl of oatmeal (1 serving size bowl)

- Cup of coffee

- Water

Postworkout:

- Glass of chocolate milk (the BEST workout recovery drink btw)

OR

- Protein skake

  - 1 scoop of powder in milk, nothing fancy

OR

- Fruit smoothie

My choice of postworkout depends on how intense the workout was. Chocolate milk is standard for anything. Protein shakes are my choice for really intense strength workouts, not so much after runs. Fruit smoothies are my choice over a protein shake after a long run. Quick natural sugar and something cold.
