The Best Pre Surf Snacks
by Nadia Redel

Best Nutrient Dense Pre Surf Snack.

   Before you hit the line up make sure to fuel yourself properly, so that you can get the most out of your session.  When your body is fueled you feel energized, stronger and mentally clear. These are key factors to performing your best.

  The best pre surf snacks are ones that will give you sustained energy and comprise mainly of complex carbohydrates.  One thing to keep in mind is how long you have before your surf session. If you have less than 30 minutes, keep it lite and always make sure it is nutrient dense.  If you have over 30 minutes, fuel up on complex carbs that will keep you feeling satiated and energized longer, but be mindful not to over eat.

   Here are a few of my favorite options:

1. Avacado on Toast 
2. Banana with almond butter 
3. Fruit/Veg Smoothie 
4. Dates with nutbutter 
5. Yogurt and granola with berries ( dairy free yogurts made of coconut, soy or almond and cashew are a great alternative and tend to be kinder on your digestion) 

   In addition, to eating correctly make sure to hydrate!  I cannot stress this enough. Coconut water is great, but good old water is the best!  Stay hydrated throughout the day.
