Are you looking for a snack for in between or a snack before your workout?
We have the perfect granola bites recipe for you that will give you energy before your workout and is also a real treat.
The granola bites are made primarily from granola. They also contain a ripe banana, a little bourbon vanilla, a pinch of cinnamon, coconut oil and oat flakes.
Athletes love oat flakes before and after exercise because of their healthy ingredients. They provide your body with valuable complex carbohydrates and proteins.
Another advantage of the muesli bites is that they are completely free from refined sugar. The ripe banana gives the bites enough sweetness.
The delicious recipe
Oats as an energy source before exercise
Oats are an ideal source of nutrients for athletes due to the complex carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and trace elements they contain. Carbohydrates supply the body with energy and “keep the engine running”.
They also have another important advantage: long-lasting satiation. If you enjoy 40-50 g of oats for breakfast every day, you will feel pleasantly full throughout the morning.
Oats have a low glycemic index. This means that they are slowly absorbed into the blood, thus ensuring a constant blood sugar level and a sustainable supply of energy.
Ripe bananas as a sugar substitute
Most athletes pay attention to a healthy, balanced sports nutrition. Sugar consumption should also be taken into account, because too much of the “white poison” should not be consumed. Replacing household sugar with bananas makes sense.
Bananas naturally contain sugar – fructose, also known as fruit sugar. In addition to their natural sweetness, bananas contain important minerals such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper.
Ripe bananas are easy to digest, are ideal for using up leftovers and, like oats, have a low glycemic index.
Muesli Bites before exercise
The optimal composition of oat flakes, bananas and nuts in the granola provides you with plenty of healthy energy before your workout.
They can be prepared in just 30 minutes, taste delicious and are also suitable as a snack between meals. Good luck!
