Fueling for runs doesn’t have to be complicated. I like simple meals that give me energy without making me feel heavy or sluggish.

Here Are My Top 5 Favorite Meals & Snacks for Running:

1.Oatmeal with Banana & Peanut Butter
My favorite quick pre-run breakfast! Carbs from oats and bananas give you energy, while a spoonful of peanut butter adds healthy fats that keep you full.
Try it with Prozis Lemon Pie Oatmeal and Protein Choco Crisp Peanut Butter for extra protein and flavor.

2.Avocado Toast with Eggs
Perfect after a run—healthy fats from the avocado help with recovery, and the eggs provide muscle-repairing protein. Add chili flakes or feta for a boost.

3.Protein Smoothie (banana, almond milk, protein, spinach)
Quick, light, and easy to digest. My usual combo includes frozen banana, almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, and a handful of spinach. Blend and go!
I often use Prozis Whey Isolate for smooth texture and extra grams of clean protein.

4.Quinoa Bowl with Chicken & Veggies
Balanced, filling, and perfect for lunch after a long run. Add roasted sweet potatoes, kale, and a tahini dressing for a nutrient-dense combo.

5.Greek Yogurt with Honey & Berries
Light but satisfying. The mix of natural sugars, antioxidants, and protein makes it a great snack before or after a short run or walk. Sometimes I add granola or chia seeds for crunch.

✨ Featured Favorite:

I recently fell in love with Prozis High Protein Waffles — they’re ready in minutes, taste amazing, and pair perfectly with the Protein Choco Crisp Peanut Butter. It’s the ultimate guilt-free combo for runners, gym-goers, or anyone craving something that feels like a treat but fuels like a pro.


💡 Pro Tip:

Before longer runs, eat 1–1.5 hours ahead. For short runs or walks, you can snack lightly 30 minutes before. Hydration also matters—don’t skip your water or electrolytes!
