    Nuts/coconut are very high in energy :)

    Dried fruit (sultanas/dates/apricots etc!)

    Well you need foods high on carbs if your workout is gonna be intensive. Too bad you don't like bananas, they're my favourite morning pre-workout fuel :) So your other options could be oatmeal (I eat oatmeal almost every morning with my protein shake), energy bars, almonds, pasta, lentils, energy gels, it really depends on what you like.
    Hope it helps :)
