Fruit-forward smoothie ideas for a snack before training. Compare portions, ingredients and prep time, then choose something you already tolerate well.

A blend before you move

A pre-workout smoothie should fit your appetite, timing and planned activity. These blends offer fruit and carbohydrate in measured portions; they are not a promise of better performance. Start with a familiar recipe on an ordinary training day.

  • 1Consider the serving size as well as the ingredients. A smaller amount may feel more comfortable close to activity.
  • 2Higher amounts of fat and fibre can feel heavy for some people before exercise. Use the nutrition panel to compare.
  • 3Do not trial an unfamiliar drink or supplement just before an important session or event.
