While all fruits contain some carbohydrates, certain types are especially high in this nutrient. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, some fruits are also good sources of other nutrients that can help contribute to energy levels. These include vitamins B6 and C, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article we&#8217;ll explore the nutrients your body needs for energy, which fruits are richest in carbohydrates, and how to include them as part of a healthy diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruits_That_Give_You_Energy\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nutrients_Does_Your_Body_Need_For_Energy\"><\/span><strong>Which Nutrients Does Your Body Need For Energy?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food is primarily used by your body as <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/frozen-fruit-vs-fresh-fruit\/\">fuel<\/a>.

That means that they can help you stay hydrated, which is crucial for maintaining energy levels during a workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re choosing fruits to eat before a workout, opt for those that are higher in water content like watermelons, strawberries, and grapes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_For_The_Complex_Carbs\"><\/span><strong>Go For The Complex Carbs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complex carbohydrates are a great source of energy for your body. They&#8217;re broken down slowly, you can have a sustained energy boost throughout your workout. Bananas, apples, and pears are all great complex carbs to eat before a workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_A_Little_Protein\"><\/span><strong>Add A Little Protein<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding a little protein to your fruit pre-workout snack can help you feel satisfied. If you&#8217;re looking for a high-protein snack, consider adding a handful of nuts to your snack or topping your banana with some almond butter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Fruits_That_Give_You_Energy\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799.png\" alt=\"fruits that give you energy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799.png 960w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5799.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_The_Right_Amount\"><\/span><strong>Eat The Right Amount<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating too much or too little before a workout can both lead to energy slumps. You want to eat enough to fuel your body, but not so much that you feel bloated or uncomfortable. A good rule of thumb is to eat about 1-2 pieces of fruit or 1 cup of cut-up fruit before a workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_It_Right\"><\/span><strong>Time It Right<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timing is everything when it comes to eating before a workout. You want to give your body enough time to digest the fruit, and don&#8217;t want to eat too close to your workout and risk feeling sick. Try to eat your snack about 30-60 minutes before you start working out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fruit-infused-water-benefits\/\"><i>Fruit Infused Water Benefits: The Benefits Backed Up By Science<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Energy_Booster_Recipes\"><\/span><strong>Natural Energy Booster Recipes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking for some specific recipes to try, here are a few of our favorites:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berry_Energy_Boosting_Smoothie_1\"><\/span><strong>Berry Energy Boosting Smoothie (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amysavagenutrition.com\/berry-pre-workout-smoothie\/#wprm-recipe-container-7181\">1<\/a>)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a burst of energy from this berry-packed smoothie.
