The Best Healthy Breakfasts For Early Workouts

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I definitely have a hearty breakfast before I do anything" - Mayer Hawthorne
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping this meal is the worst idea you could ever think of. Not having breakfast could ruin your mood which would totally affect the way of how you will deal with your daily activities. Breakfast is an important thing most especially for people who usually take an early workout session.
Food really is the fuel for our body. It makes us do things with a much stronger body. But if one will not choose the right food then what is the point of eating after all, right? Well, literally if some food would kill us then why would we even think of eating. But, no, not a single food is bad. Just too much of them that makes them bad for us.
So if you are having an early workout session and you are having trouble what meal you will take before and after those workouts then you are completely in a perfect place. Here is a list of the best healthy breakfasts for early workouts. Do not worry too much about the preparation and everything else, I sorted things for you.

Pre-Workout Healthy Breakfast

Every morning most people tend to be at their laziest they could ever be. Well, who is not, right? So, considering how you struggle with your body at that certain moment then you better check the options below.
  • A handful of cereal or dried fruit 
  • A cup of fresh fruit juice
  • Chocolate milk (this is also good for your post-workout meal)
  • Protein bars or shakes
Banana
This fruit is a great source of natural sugars, simple carbohydrates, and potassium. The body potassium is only stored for a limited amount of time- so try consuming a banana around 30 minutes to an hour before your workout.
Greek Yogurt Mixed with dried fruit
Dried fruit is high in sugar and high in calories which only mean if you are on a strict diet then you better avoid these. But, however, this food is still great to be consumed in measured amounts pre-workout to give a quick source of simple sugar. Consuming dried fruit with Greek yogurt can also provide the body with a source of protein to help optimise your workout. Consume a meal like this 1-1.5 hours before a workout
But if you want a "real-meal" then you can prepare these foods below. Remember you need to balance out your meal or else they will be just for nothing, do you want that? NO, right? 
  • Chocolate milk
  • Half a banana with a teaspoon of peanut butter
  • Half a mini bagel with a teaspoon of cream cheese
  • A hardboiled egg and a half slice of toast
  • A handful of cereal
  • 1/4 cup dried fruit
  • A couple swigs of 100 percent fruit juice

Post-Workout Healthy Breakfast

"When you have something for breakfast, you're not going to be starving by lunch"-  Bruce Barton
Now that you know what you can grab for your pre-workout meal during breakfast then here is a post-workout healthy breakfast. It is not cheating if you will eat after you workout. Because plainly it is just a little power-up for your body. You have used a portion of your body energy and you need to charge up again. But always remember you still need to have the right amount of balanced meal. Do not take too much or else those sweats are just for nothing.
Here are some choices you could choose from.
  • Chicken Egg Wrap Burrito

    A double dose of protein in this egg-wrapped burrito is not bad most especially if your favorite tortilla gets dipped and cooked in an egg batter and then loaded with chicken, seasonings, and veggies. Use almond flour and add in extra vegetables, like mushrooms or peppers, for an even bigger nutritional boost. What a perfect meal, right?
  • Clean-Eating Banana Almond Quinoa

    A creamy quinoa is an awesome meal after a tough AM workout. Superfood quinoa provides protein and all your amino acids, while bananas add potassium and sweetness. Sprinkle with almonds and dig in.
  • Matcha Green Tea Pancakes
    Pancakes made of matcha green tea will give you a major dose of antioxidants. Not only are they a fun color but they also get extra protein from brown rice flour and hemp protein powder. Top it up with an all-natural topping and maybe a touch of organic chocolate syrup and you are good to go.
Another option for a post-workout healthy meal are:
  • Almond Butter Pomegranate Quesadilla
  • Black Bean Avocado Enchiladas
  • Caribbean Salad With Sweet Orange Vinaigrette
  • Cheese, Black Beans and Corn-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes With Avocado Crema
  • Fruit Shake
  • Almonds
  • Protein Bars
