RECIPE: Apricot Lassi

If you're training first thing in the morning, many people need a bit of fuel in their tank before they get going.

The goal of pre-exercise meals or snacks is to provide carbohydrates and to optimise hydration.

A homemade smoothie, high in carbohydrates and low in fat and fibre, is ideal for a pre-exercise meal. High-fibre, fat and protein meals consumed pre-exercise have been shown to cause an increase in gastrointestinal upset as fibre, fat and protein are slow to empty from the stomach.
