Oat flakes as a source of energy before exercise

Oatmeal is an optimal combination of nutrients for athletes due to the complex carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and trace elements it contains. Carbohydrates provide the body with energy and “keep the engine running”.

They also have another important advantage: long-lasting satiety. If you eat 40-50 g of oat flakes daily for breakfast, you will feel pleasantly full throughout the morning.

Oat flakes have a low glycaemic index. This means that they are absorbed slowly into the blood and thus ensure a constant blood sugar level and sustained energy supply.

Ripe bananas as a sugar substitute

Most athletes pay attention to a healthy, balanced sports diet. Sugar consumption should also be taken into account, because too much of the “white poison” should not be consumed. Replacing household sugar with bananas makes sense.

Bananas naturally contain sugar – fructose, also called fructose. In addition to their natural sweetness, bananas contain important minerals such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper.

Ripe bananas are easy to digest, ideal for leftovers and, like oatmeal, have a low glycaemic index.

Muesli Bites before exercise

Thanks to the optimal composition of oat flakes, bananas and nuts from the Granola, the Muesli Bites provide you with plenty of healthy energy before your workout.

They can be prepared in just 30 minutes, taste delicious and are also suitable as a snack between meals. Enjoy!
