Favorite Pre-Workout Snack

I often wake up and have a hard time putting anything in my stomach before a workout, especially if it's early. While this can be good practice once a week to teach your body that it's ok to use an alternate energy source, it's definitely not good to do every day or even most days.  Recently, I've found a solution that's healthy, fills me up and is a great fuel source; Manna Bread.

"What is Manna bread? It is a cake-like, sprouted bread, yeast free bread, organic bread, free of salt, no oils, no sweeteners, no leavening agents. Manna is a moist and delicious, high in protein and fiber. Available in 9 delicious flavors in your favorite health food store, and most Whole Foods markets, in the USA and Canada..."

Now as moist and flavorful as Manna bread is, I like to spread a little Artisan Coconut Butter (or almond butter or bananas) on top to help liven it up from something I need to eat to something I want to eat.

Warning: The combination of Manna bread and cocunut butter is really, really ridiculously good (in my humble opinion) and can be very addictive! Try not to eat too much. I find one to two slices, depending on how big the slices are, is usually plenty especially if you are adding other foods to your meal.

Enjoy!
