I love to have some oatmeal in the morning after a tough run or workout, I feel like it gives me an extra boost and starts the day off on the right foot.
I have a bunch of different combinations I love and live by, but this one seems to be my go-to lately!
I actually eat it before workouts too, depending on what my workout is for the day.
Cardio- After, mainly because I don’t want to puke… and I tend to cramp if I eat to soon before a hard cardio sesh. If it’s a long run, where I’m going for distance but not really time and more of an easy run, I’ll have it about an hour before.
Lifting- Before. Having the carbs in me before lifting gives me the fuel to get through some muscle building madness.
But, whatever works for you!

I am obsessing over chia seeds lately! They are a nutritional power house and I’m really starting to feel the benefits of them!
