GO BANANAS!

Go_Bananas

I know I’m always going on about this super-fruit, but bananas really do make an ideal snack before your workout.

Not only are they loaded with digestible carbohydrates, to fuel your body, they are also packed with potassium and magnesium, which aid in maintaining nerve and muscle function.

Have a banana with 2tbs of Greek yoghurt 30mins to 1 hour before you exercise. It will prevent low blood sugar, which leads to light-headedness and fatigue.

This combination will also fuel your body with both the carbohydrates and protein needed to maximise your workout and performance.

And what’s better they’re cheap to buy, so you don’t have to break the bank! Another reason why I will continue to sing this fruit’s praises.
