We all know that breakfast is the most important meal<\/a> of the day, but if you’re about to jump on the treadmill or swim a few laps, the last thing you want is to have gone for that greasy diner special. So instead of leading you down the road of indigestion, here are our tips for the ultimate breakfast before a workout<\/a>. No Altoids needed.<\/p>\n

1. Bananas
<\/strong>Bananas are high in potassium and their natural sugar content provides the perfect carbohydrate to kick up your energy level while exercising. Since potassium also aids in maintaining proper nerve and muscle function, it’ll also make your workout much more efficient, will help with fluid absorption, and will burn faster than a protein bar full of sugar and processed ingredients.<\/p>\n

2. Apples
<\/strong>Not only will apples give your body a boost thanks to its carbohydrates (achieved through natural sugars), it’s rich in fibre which will further your energy. If you’re working out first thing in the morning, an apple will restore your blood sugar levels, which plunge while you sleep, and give you something to burn off without weighing you down.<\/p>\n

3. Whole-wheat products
<\/strong>When working out, you need to think carbohydrates. But instead of bulking up on sweet bagels, donuts or white processed bread (which we all do \u201c let’s be serious), opt for whole grains that will offer additional nourishment on top of their built-in energy. Whole grains contain complex carbohydrates that, unlike their processed counterparts, cause a drop once they’re burned off, so you’ll be able to sustain your energy instead of just getting a kick.<\/p>\n

4. Milk
<\/strong>Believe it or not, milk \u201c provided you’re not chugging a glass before you head to the gym \u201c is the perfect beverage for a breakfast before you work out since it not only gives you energy, but will boost your calcium and provide you with vitamins without upping your calorie count.<\/p>\n
