If you root, root, root for the home team and they don’t win, it’s a shame. If you’re hungry while your rooting for the home team because the only vegetarian item at the ballpark is the bottled water, that’s an even bigger shame.

Ever wonder what the best snacks to eat before and after a long run are if you’re a vegan who’s interested in maximum performance? Look no further than to triathlete Brendan Brazier. Brazier is the author of Thrive Diet and soon to be released Whole Foods to Thrive: Nutrient-Dense, Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health.

He also created VEGA, a line of whole food, vegan nutritional shakes, bars and other supplements which happen to fall under his pre-workout food suggestions.

“Pre-run, it’s about getting the body the reserve energy it’ll need to sustain the run,” Brazier said. “Half a banana and a few dates, almond milk mixed together with a scoop of the Vega Sport Optimizer or some pseudo-grains, like quinoa, mixed with fruits and almonds are a good energy boost.”

“I’ve come to learn the hard way that dogfighting is a dead-end street,” Vick said. “Now, I am on the right side of this issue, and I think it’s important to send the smart message to kids, and not glorify this form of animal cruelty, even in an Android app.”
