Power Crunch Trail Mix
Need a gym bag snack that is good fuel for pre and post a workout? Something you can eat even if it gets hot or squashed? You need our sports dietitian’s “Power Crunch” trail mix!
The goal of a pre and post-workout snack is to get sufficient carbohydrate, some protein, and a little fat. Eating a whole grain carbohydrate (whole grain cereal, granola bar, wheat bread/bagel or wheat crackers) with lean protein will give you energy that lasts throughout your workout and helps you recover afterwards.
“Power Crunch” Trail Mix Recipe
•1 cup Nature Valley Oats & Honey Cereal
•½ cup Post Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch Cereal
•½ oz Mixed Nuts
Both the Nature Valley Cereal and the Post Grape Nuts Trail Mix Crunch provide a great source of whole grain carbohydrate in addition to b vitamins, iron, and fiber. Together these cereals also provide 8 grams of plant protein. The ½ oz of mixed nuts adds an additional 3 grams of protein and 12 grams of healthy fat. Combined as a trail mix, “Power Crunch” (70% carbohydrate) will fuel your body for running, jumping, weight lifting, or playing! Make sure you grab a bottle of water, Gatorade, or glass of low-fat milk to hydrate your body as you fuel it both pre AND post workout!
