Fuelling ideas before your morning workout

Scratching your tummy trying to work out what to eat before your morning workout?

We understand the dilemma. You have a limited time slot in the morning for your workout, and you want to maximise it. Selecting the right foods to eat beforehand can make a noticeable difference to the quality of your bike, run or gym session, and to your energy levels over the rest of the day. 

Here are a couple of simple, training fuel options made with real foods to kick-start your morning workout. Remember, if you're an active individual it's a good idea to eat a healthy breakfast afterwards to ensure that you're getting enough calories in!
