You might wonder how bananas can help you with your workout. Well, from my experience, I can share with you how bananas can serve as pre-workout snacks. If you eat one raw banana before a workout, you will get 75% water, 1% protein, and 23% carbohydrates. You will also get 89 calories, 39% of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium as well. When you start a workout, you need water, protein, and calories. Before a workout, you need to energize because you will burn calories during your workout. That’s why you need to give your body more calories before a workout. If you don’t provide your body with protein and calories before a workout, you will feel exhausted, and you may give up. You won’t be able to continue, and you can’t stay consistent. If you watch football or any other sports, you might see some players eating bananas during their breaks. Bananas provide quick energy to the body. That’s the reason why I recommend bananas as pre-workout snacks.
How many times before should I eat bananas as a pre-workout snack?”
“What I basically do is eat bananas 20 to 30 minutes before my workout. This allows my body plenty of time to start processing the carbohydrates while also allowing me to load up on potassium before my next workout. You can follow this timing. There is no exact time to eat bananas before your workout.”
“What can I make with bananas as a pre-workout drink?”
“One of my favorite drinks is a peanut butter banana smoothie. In one peanut butter banana smoothie, I will get 335 calories. Now, I’m going to share with you how you can make a nice peanut butter banana smoothie.”
“So first things first.”
“The total time is going to be 5 to 10 minutes.”
