Grab some dried fruits, banana chips, nuts, seeds & dark chocolate
Nuts: Raw nuts which haven't been coated in anything, salted or roasted are the best option
Seeds: Great source of vitamins & minerals as well as protein. Again try to buy ones which haven't been coated in anything.
Dried Fruit: Due to it's high sugar content, dried fruit is the perfect option to include in a post-workout snack to help boost your low blood sugar levels. Aim to buy fruits which have been sun dried & again haven't been coated in anything or anything added to them.
Dark Chocolate: 70% or higher cocoa content is key (the higher the % the better). If you can't find dark chocolate chips, buy a bar & break up a square or two.
Creating Your Trail Mix
1 & half cups of nuts
1 cup seeds
1 cup dried fruits
2 squares dark chocolate
Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl & then store in a airtight container/ sandwich bag. Will last for up to 1 month if stored correctly. (Not that it's going to need to last that long!)
Grab a handful & transfer to a pot/bag as a post work out snack option
