Pre-workout Snack?

I'm looking for some good non-dairy pre-workout snack suggestions. I get cramps if I eat too much before exercising, so I need something small and quick to fend off hunger until I can eat breakfast post-workout.

    Try just an apple or banana. They have sugar and carbs--the sugar will give you an insuline spike to get you going, and carbs will be fuel for your workout. I'm the same way with the cramps and this seems to work for me!

    If I go for an early morning run I usually have a banana and some water before leaving. That usually holds me over till breakfast and doesn't weigh me down or nauseate me.
