Portable Snack Mix

Why spend extra money on packaged snack mixes when you can make your own? This mix of cereal, pretzels, crackers, and spices is chock full of energy-boosting carbohydrates. Experiment with different spices to create your own signature flavors. Have a few handfuls along with a piece of fruit before a workout, or pair up with a protein-rich string cheese after a workout.
