🍎🍌🥚Eat THIS! Not THAT!🍫🍟🍔
Have you ever asked yourself, “What do I want to eat today?”
or
“What do I eat in between my dance classes, rehearsals, or shows?”
A few things to focus on when choosing the right snack or drink during the day is how it will fuel you to continue doing what you love, rather than send you on sugar high and then nose-dive into a sleep coma!
💦 First, drink water! Instead of reaching for that soda filled with carbonated battery acid, choose a wiser option such as an electrolyte drink ( ) or high quality H2O! Replacing your fluid and electrolyte loss through sweating is important for your body to continue to do what you want it to do!
Next, if you’ve got a sweet tooth like me, you want a quick boost of delicious sugary chocolatey goodness! However, if you want your machine of a body to keep acting like the well-oiled machine that we all know it is, pack a few pieces of fruit in your lunch bag!
Lastly, for those who crave a good crunch like some CHEETZ-ITZ or DORITOS in between your movement sessions, try grabbing a handful of almonds to take with you! Or if you’ve got a nut allergy, there are some delicious and nutritious protein bars on the market as well. Just be careful not to get one with a handful of sugar in it! 😉
My favorite food I like to encourage my professional dancers to consume is packing a nut butter and honey sandwich! You’ve got a perfect balance of proteins and carbohydrates with a touch of natural sugar to keep your body fueled and ready to go! Keep in mind, if you’re consuming the sandwich for a snack, I would eat a half at a time and save that goodness for the next break in your day!
I know it may be weird at first not to eat and drink all those sugary and salty goodies, but you will thank yourself for choosing the wiser option!
