Here’s the 5th and final of Tony’s race tips from the National Press Club.
Week 5: Snacks
Just two weeks before the big race, and you may be getting hungry. Here are some of my favorite snacks to keep you going before race day. No more excuses!
Tony’s Top 10 Snacks
- My sticky bar, of course (with banana, peanut butter, and granola).
- Almond butter (thinly spread) on organic whole-grain toast
- Snyder’s of Hanover Organic Oat Bran Pretzels
- PROBAR® nutrition bar (original blend)—380 calories of pure joy and 100% vegan
- Protein shake: banana, half cup of frozen blueberries and strawberries, tablespoon of flaxseed meal, two ice cubes, protein powder, and rice milk
- Half cup of fresh blueberries, and Food For Life’s Ezekiel 4:9 cereal with almonds, mixed into 8 oz. of plain nonfat yogurt
- Handful of raw mixed nuts
- MI-DEL Honey Grahams (whole wheat; 8 crackers are 280 calories)
- CLIF Nectar bars: I like the cinnamon pecan flavor (4 organic ingredients and only 170 calories)
- LaraBar snackbars (ingredients: dates, pecans, and almonds; 220 calories)
10-Minute Recipe: Tony’s Sticky Bar
