Main Points:

- If you do CrossFit first thing in the morning, have a liquid form of carbs & protein
- Examples of Pre-workout snacks:
- Shake with almond milk
- Fruit puree with protein powder

- Bring something with you to have after your workout! You want to have something within 30 minutes of your workout to replace glycogen stores & muscle repair
- Examples of Post-workout snacks:

**Donuts are loaded with fat which slows down gastric emptying and delays nutrients to be utilized. Stick with liquids over solid food after your workouts!
