Best preworkout fruit
I am considering a preworkout smoothie of fruit and bcaa and I am wondering what fruit would be best? I have read that bananas, black and blueberries are pretty good. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

strawberries work for me! i blend them in with my protein and CEE and then hit the gym!
I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.

ditto on the strawberries. And they blend wonderfully to make the shake more filling.

Strawberry and banana smoothies are filling but light and give a decent amount of energy. Plus they are really really tasty!

Definetly any berries (strawberry, blueberry), bananas and even frozen peaches, if you can find them.

I buy bags of frozen sour cherries. They are delicious and low in sugar. YUMM

Ideally pre-workout you want a meal consisting of protein and complex carbs. Complex carbs are slow digesting and give you long lasting energy for your workout. Something like oatmeal, sweet potatoe, brow rice, whole wheat bread etc.. Why do you absolutely want fruit pre-workout? If you absolutely want fruit, I'd go with a banana. Alot of energy in bananas. Berries are all low carb fruits, personnaly I wouldn't eat only this kind of carb pre-workout.
You can still make a smoothy with protein and berries but add a bowl of oatmeal with that. Or make a smoothie with protein, berries and a banana.WORKOUT

I eat 1 cup oatmeal and 2 cans of tuna 2 hours preworkout. What I am looking for is the best fruit to eat about 20-30 mins preworkout with bcaa

You want a lower fibre, higher glucose fruit that is rapidly digested (unless you want to chuck it up during training).. So something like grapes, a banana, grape juice or even dried dates or apricots would be your best choice.Originally Posted by BigDerek
