For Exercise DayPerformance Benefits
This is ideal for a snack before a training session or as a quick recovery option. Carbohydrates from the banana will provide energy for your training, while protein from the yoghurt and peanut butter will promote recovery post-exercise.
Health Benefits
The banana is a great source of potassium, which is needed for fluid balance and nerve system functioning. The peanut butter is a source of unsaturated fat that helps boost “good” cholesterol and lower “bad” cholesterol in your blood, lowering your risk of heart disease or stroke. Unsaturated fats also help to absorb fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K.
