Skip the high sugar/high calories protein bars and opt for some natural pre workout foods.

Banana

A banana is quick, easy to eat and affordable. It digests quickly, but not too quickly. It's medium index on the Glycemic index chart ensures you'll have a steady stream of energy during your workout.

Plus, it's inexpensive!

Peanut Butter

A staple in just about everyone's cabinet or pantry, peanut butter is a tasty snack that will stick with you while you workout.

1 or 2 tablespoons will work.

Yes, you can eat it right out of the jar!

Protein Shake

Some exercisers believe that a protein shake before they train actually helps build and repair muscle while they train.

Whether this is true or not is really up to scientists and doctors to define, but a quick shake with some fruit before you train is a delicious way to begin a workout. The fruit should sustain you throughout you training session. Need an extra boost? Add some peanut butter.
