Sprint & Gusto: the fit break
Who said that eating healthy meant giving up?
Too often we still associate the idea of healthy eating to a limit. It's actually simpler than that: with the right choices, every snack can be satisfying, light and balanced. And this also applies in sports! Because when energy starts to diminish, the right snacks make the difference: before, after and during training.
Before the workout: light energy
Focus on natural and fresh snacks, which give energy without weighing you down. La fresh fruit It is our best ally: a banana together with some almonds, a source of precious nutrients, will give you the energy you need.
Or a plain yogurt, even a vegetable one, with a seasonal fruit. And in April? We recommend strawberries, to get the right amount of proteins and vitamins together.
... fresh fruit is our best ally!
Conscious hydration: drink with pleasure
Don't forget to hydrate! During training, wear the Fresche Idee Infusions: naturally thirst-quenching and without added sugar, prepared with only water, fresh fruit and vegetables. The perfect drink to replenish fluids and minerals lost during physical activity. Try it in two flavors, one more refreshing than the other.
Everyone has their own snack!
More and more athletes are choosing a flexitarian diet, for dietary needs, ethical or environmental choices. That's why we thought of some snacks. Before sports, go ahead for light, easy-to-digest snacks. An example? A hummus of cannellini beans and whole wheat crackers (even gluten-free), together with a fruit. After training, choose the Capri loaf with multigrain bread, Vegeluna cashew string, tomato and basil: practical and tasty, it's the post-workout to try if you're always in a hurry and looking for a Vegan snack tasty.
Healthy alternatives: our tips
Before and after sports, avoid products rich in additives and artificial ingredients. Prefer fresh natural foods and remember to calibrate your nutrient intake according to your training: if you practice mild physical activity, such as pilates or yoga, choose a light snack and keep your hydration high with a Fresche Idee Infusion, such as the raspberry and lemon infusion.
For more intense activities, such as running and team sports, combine a source of proteins and minerals, like a few pieces of Parmigiano Reggiano. Along with a peach and dry biscuits, energy is guaranteed!
And after the sport? Don't give up on taste and lightness: try a Vegetable garnish in season, perhaps seasoned with a classic citronette with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil; skewers with mozzarella, basil and olives and the Capri Loaf as a source of essential carbohydrates. In a short time you will have a colorful dinner, quick to prepare and full of well-being.
