If you keep in shape by regularly doing sports and following a healthy diet, you certainly try to avoid empty calories in the form of random snacks. However, during the day you often crave a little something. What snacks can an athlete afford and not feel guilty? Here are some ideas!
We are of course talking about those which we prepare ourselves! Store bought muesli bars usually contain unnecessary additives and unnecessary amounts of sugar. Therefore, if you care about shape and a healthy diet, it is best to prepare muesli bars with your own hands at home.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Mix all dry ingredients (except sugar) together in a large bowl.
Mix sugar, honey and peanut butter in a separate bowl and heat for 2-3 minutes over low heat or in the microwave.
Add the heated ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.
Lightly grease a square or rectangular baking pan with butter or use cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the tin, press with the palm of your hand greased with butter or margarine and set aside for about an hour.
Cut the mixture into bar-shaped rectangles.
Apparently one of the favorite snacks of the famous ski jumper was a banana sandwich. Many trainers recommend adding peanut butter to it and eating it on whole-grain bread. This way we have a simple, quick and healthy snack that is a real energy bomb.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Unlike the previous one, this recipe, as you guessed, will be very short. Spread peanut butter on the bread and then place a sliced banana on top. Done!
All kinds of jellies, kisiels or jelly are snacks recommended for athletes. This is because of the collagen content, which strengthens the joints. Therefore, an ideal snack for people who care about good form will be jelly with fruit.
Ingredients:
Preparation: Cut your favorite fruit into small pieces. Crush the nuts or almonds of your choice a little. Mix the ingredients together and place in a bowl. Prepare jelly according to the instructions on the package. Pour over fruit and nuts. Wait until the jellies cool down and put in the fridge for about 2 hours.
To prepare fruit salad, we choose our favorite fruits. It is good to mix the sweeter ones with slightly more sour ones to create an interesting flavor combination. An important addition to our salad will be a special dressing! Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients:
Preparation: Combine all ingredients, mixing thoroughly, and add to diced fruit.
Sounds trivial, but it’s a really tasty snack! For those who do not have time for more demanding culinary operations, this will be the perfect option. We cut an apple into slices and spread it with peanut butter. Voilà!
