Banana and Nut Butter: The Perfect Pre-Yoga Snack?

My Pre-Yoga Energy Secret

On rushed mornings, I grab a banana with a small spoonful of almond butter before yoga. It’s quick, satisfying, and keeps my energy steady throughout practice.

Why It Works

• Banana: Rich in potassium, supports muscle function, easy to digest.
• Nut Butter: Provides healthy fats and a bit of protein for sustained energy.
• Combination: Natural sugars + healthy fats balance blood sugar and energy levels.

When to Eat It?

• 30–45 minutes before practice for best results.
• Keep portion small: 1 small banana + ½-1 tsp nut butter.

Variations

• Banana + peanut butter
• Banana + almond butter + cinnamon
• Banana slices on multigrain toast (if more fuel needed before a long session)

Closing Reflection

Sometimes, simplicity is the best nourishment. This humble combo can become your go-to ally in showing up with energy and lightness on your mat.
