Snacks for Athletes

Fueling your body as an athlete is incredibly important. The food that we consume turns into energy and helps our body to operate in the best way possible. Because of this, we want to eat foods that will keep us full longer and that will provide us with the power and strength to work hard during practice.

Here are some great snack ideas for athletes (feel free to mix-and-match so your athlete feels satisfied!):

• Cheese and Crackers
• Pita Bread and Hummus
