Before Ballet Class Snacks
When I take class in the afternoon I almost always grab a snack beforehand. When I don't, my grumbling stomach makes me regret it. Ballet is several hours after lunch, and still a long ways from dinner. I have to fuel up for the intense physical activity before me.
I try to eat something with protein. Here are a few examples of before class snacks.
Nuts-I love almonds, pistachios, peanuts, and cashews. They're filling, and a great source of protein. I grab a handful for the car ride.
Banana Chips-These pieces of dried fruit became a preferred snack of mine when I first tasted them last summer during a camping trip. I usually mix them with some nuts in a plastic bag.
Peanut Butter-This is my absolute favorite food! When I don't have P.B. for lunch I enjoy it as an energy giving snack. There are several ways to eat it. I've spread it over celery, bananas, apples, and raisin toast. When I've had a light lunch I'll cut up slices of banana to put on the toast, then drizzle honey it. It's delicious!
