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.”
