Working out early in the morning can be a fantastic way to start your day with energy and a sense of accomplishment. But to maximize your performance and recovery, it's crucial to fuel your body properly.
Here's a guide on what to eat before your early morning workouts, tailored to when you wake up and get moving.
Power Meal Options: 60-90 Minutes Before Your Workout
If you have a bit more time before hitting the gym, consider having a more substantial meal. This window allows your body to digest and convert food into the energy you'll need.
1. Frittata
Our chef-prepared frittatas are packed with protein and healthy fats, making them an excellent choice to sustain your energy levels throughout your workout.
2. Omelette
Loaded with vegetables and lean protein, an omelette is a versatile and nutritious option that can be customized to your liking.
3. Protein Waffle
Our protein waffles provide a balanced mix of complex carbs and protein, offering sustained energy and supporting muscle repair and growth. They're delicious and can be customized with toppings like fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.
4. Core Power Protein Shake
These shakes are designed to provide quick, high-quality protein and carbs, perfect for fueling your workout and aiding in recovery.
On our website, you will find the flavors vanilla, chocolate, banana and Strawberry banana and 2 options, the regular drink with 26g of protein and the elite version with an impressive 42g of protein.
Quick Snack Options: 20-40 Minutes Before Your Workout
If you're short on time, opt for something lighter but still packed with nutrients to fuel your workout.
1. Protein Bar
Convenient and packed with protein and carbs, protein bars are perfect for a quick energy boost.
2. Bananas
Rich in quick-digesting carbohydrates and potassium, bananas help prevent muscle cramps and provide immediate energy.
3. Peanut Butter
A spoonful of peanut butter can give you a quick dose of healthy fats and protein.
4. Rice Krispies
Surprisingly, Rice Krispies can be a quick source of fast-digesting carbs to fuel high-intensity workouts.
Quick Fuel Options: Right Before Your Workout
For those who need to get moving immediately after waking up, focus on quick and easily digestible options that won't upset your stomach.
1. Water
Staying hydrated is crucial. Make sure to drink water to keep your body functioning at its best.
2. Coffee
A cup of coffee can provide a caffeine boost to enhance your performance and focus during the workout.
