Fuel and Recover with Publix Pre and Post-Workout Snacks

If you’re looking for pre-workout fuel and products to help you recover afterward, Publix has everything you need. Eating before and after your workouts can help you work harder and recover faster.

Pre-Workout

Eating a snack or meal before you exercise will help sustain your energy levels through your workouts. Not sure what to try? Experiment with your pre-workout nutrition to determine the best timing and your tolerance for foods. To help support and maintain blood-sugar levels, choose foods with both carbohydrates and protein. Also, to minimize stomach issues, opt for foods with less fat and fiber that are easily digested.

Pre-Workout Snack Idea No. 1

• GreenWise Old Fashioned White Bread (or GreenWise Seeded Wheat Bread or GreenWise Organic Sprouted Multigrain Bread)
• GreenWise Almond Butter (or Peanut Butter or Cashew Butter)

Pre-Workout Snack Idea No. 2

• GreenWise Greek Vanilla Yogurt
• Banana

Post-Workout

Several different ratios have been suggested including 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1 (ratio of carbohydrate to protein). Take advantage of easily portable foods such as a commercial recovery beverage, a post-workout smoothie with whey protein and fruit, low-fat chocolate milk, yogurt and fruit, or a sports nutrition bar.

Post-Workout Snack Idea

• GreenWise Organic Toasted Oats Cereal with GreenWise Organic Fat-Free Milk

Make a smoothie! This is one of our faves and it includes GreenWise Vanilla Whey Protein and GreenWise Organic Mixed Berries.
