3 Ways to Mix up your Pre-Workout Energy Drink

Fueling up for a workout is extremely important, and using a pre-workout energy drink is an easy what to give your body that it needs to meet the demands of your exercise. Being adequately fueled ultimately benefits your recovery process by protecting muscle tissue from breakdown through appropriately-timed nutrient supplementation.

If you don’t like to eat a lot before a workout or even don't know what to mix your pre-workout with, use one of the below pre-workout power drinks to satiate and fuel in a minimally draining way.

Pre-Workout Energy Shot

Simply mix 1 serving Vega Sport® Pre-Workout Energizer or Vega Sport® Sugar Free Energizer with 2 oz of water.

This concentrated ratio allows the product to dissolve still (especially when taken with warm water), but also allows you to hit the pavement or trails within 20 minutes of use for more intense cardio sessions without an abundance of water in your belly. Note: Make sure to hydrate yourself appropriately in the evening before!

Pre-Workout Energy Drink

Prepare green tea or yerba mate tea in the evening before your morning exercise. Refrigerate overnight. As soon as you wake up, mix 1 cup of chilled tea with 1 serving of Vega Sport® Pre-Workout Energizer or Vega Sport® Sugar Free Energizer.

This drink provides greater hydration than the power shot and additional mental alertness from the tea base. Perfect for any exercise involving hand-eye coordination in the morning.

Pre-Workout Energy Shake

Blend 1 serving Vega Sport® Pre-Workout Energizer or Vega Sport® Sugar Free Energizer with 1/2 cup fruit (we like mixed berries, mango, papaya, or any stonefruits: peach, pear, or nectarine) and some water for a thicker pick-me-up.

This recipe is excellent for those with more ravenous appetites before a workout but short on time. Fruit is easy to digest first thing in the morning and quickly converts to energy for working muscles. The fruit also adds texture to the drink, helping to provide satiation.
