Adding some protein powder to your oats will not only make the oats have staying power, but the protein also helps to stabilize the blood sugar. I like to pre-measure my oats, protein and a dallop of almond butter at night so I can just add water, heat and go! After adding some blueberries of course!

And if you stay hydrated the day before not being able to chug water that morning helps a lot!

But it’s so important to eat before a morning workout – you don’t want your blood sugar to drop during the workout leaving you feeling tired or dizzy!

I never eat prior to early workouts and perform great in yoga, running or working out with a trainer. I always eat after.

Freat fuel ideas. One problem though – if I get up at 6 AM to get a pre-work workout in, it’s pretty tough to eat and even moreso hydrate ahead of time. Advice? Thoughts? Really trying to shift to AM workouts but lacking the energy…

Trying to lose weight, and it’s so hard to figure out how to healthily incorporate breakfast into the day. I always thought I had to go to work out hungry, and then re-fuel afterwards so I wouldn’t cancel out my calorie burn, but my allotted calories always keep me starving, thus leading to carb attacks by 10 a.m.. Splitting my breakfast between before and after workouts is such a simple, but brilliant idea. I’ll start bright and squirrely tomorrow morning at 5!

Great overview of pre-/post workout options! It’s easy to get in the habit of having the same thing over and over, but reading this makes me want to switch it up a little bit and try some new things

Hummus has only 2 grams of protein. Not really adequate for post workout muscle rebuilding. Studies show it takes 60-90 minutes for protein to become available to the muscle tissue for rebuilding, so it is best to take in at least 20 grams of protein 1 hour before your workout.

I too love to workout in the early am. I always drink
A protein shake along with half a grapefruit before
My workout and oatmeal, egg whites, protein powder
And ground flax afterwards. Excellent! I will definitely
Add the cinnamon next time. Thanks

I thought that lulu was Canadian? Why must we try to understand ounces?

Definitely a fan of breakfast, most important!

Great post!! I am definitely a morning workout person and my favourite pre-sweat snacks are usually a small banana, or some cottage cheese with blueberries and cinnamon. Post-workout, I almost always enjoy a green smoothie with protein powder, spinach or kale, and fruit. Mornings are just not the same without them!

ps. I like to use organic frozen berries for this smoothie cuz it makes for a delish cold refreshing drink!

I like the suggestion of drinking water 2 – 3 hours before starting my 2 hour yoga class ~ am trying now! I drink a green smoothie an hour before I work out because it’s light, easily digestible and full of natural minerals and vitamins. Just toss a cup of spinach, slices cucumber, handful mixed berries (i like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) with a little agave nectar, cup of alkaline water and pinch of pink salt in a blender or juicer and good to go!

My favorite post-workout snack is banana and peanut butter on toast. Have just switched to a paleo diet though, so no peanut butter of toast for me anymore!

I enjoy a breakfast smoothie with one banana, frozen (Europe’a Best brand) mixed berries, ice cubes and water (with a splash of juice) with protein powder and Salba. Blend it in my magic bullet and I have enough fuel for an hour (or as long as my infant daughter allows).
