Sick of Gels? Try These for Healthy Energy on the Go

If you’re doing any long workout or training session, it’s important to eat right and stay fueled before, during and after. But, different types of training sessions require different types of eats and drinks. It all comes down to the type and length of workout, and the demands the activity puts on your body. And while energy gels can be awesome, let’s be honest, you can only eat so many energy gels before becoming totally and completely bored with them. (Not to mention, some of them aren’t exactly unprocessed or affordable!) Which is why I LOVE this guide that Susan did for Fit Bottomed Eats.

It breaks down easy ways that you can get healthy energy — minus the gels — for all different kinds of workouts, including running, cycling, swimming and yoga. Oh, and she even includes DIY options for her healthy energy suggestions. Brilliant!

Read the healthy energy guide here and then tell us: what are some of your fave non energy gel snacks for workouts? I love me a good old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (But now I really need to try those rice cakes Susan suggests!) —Jenn
