I am going to my Muay Thai class after work today so i am needing some ideas for a snack before my workout. I need something minimaly processed, low in added sugar and nothing with peanuts or bananas becuase I have allergies to both.

i am about to run to the store on my lunch break so I need to know quick! thanks!

    Instant Oatmeal(mainly cause you can nuke it. I think they even make those cups) its my go to. Gentle on the tum tum, complex carbs, full of fiber. Healthy. Mannnnyyyyy advantages to it :)

    I make my own:

    4 scoops whey protein *it calls for Vanilla but I use Chocolate
    1/2 cup peanut butter **You could most likely use cashew butter instead
    1 tbs ground flaxseed
    2 cups quick oatmeal

    blend all together then put it in an 8x8 pan. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes or so. Cut into eight pieces.

    cal: 278
    carb: 21
    fat: 13
    protein :23
    fiber: 5

    I'm in love with the Pure Protein bars, they are the best protein bars out there.... not high in fat, or cal, and 20+ grams of protein
