Snacks For Swim Meets

1. Banana with Peanut Butter + Whole Grain Crackers

✅ Carbs = Quick Energy: Bananas and whole grain crackers provide simple and complex carbs that help replenish glycogen stores—the primary fuel source during high-intensity activity.
✅ Protein + Fat = Sustained Fuel: Peanut butter slows digestion just enough to provide longer-lasting energy, helping prevent blood sugar crashes during competition.

2. Greek Yogurt + Berries + Granola

✅ Protein = Muscle Support: Greek yogurt offers 2–3x more protein than regular yogurt, which helps preserve muscle during physical stress.
✅ Carbs = Mental and Physical Boost: Berries and granola provide fast-digesting carbs that support focus and reaction time—especially important for sports that require speed and coordination.

3. Turkey & Cheese Wrap + Apple Slices

✅ Lean Protein = Endurance + Recovery: Turkey provides high-quality protein without the heaviness of fatty meats, supporting muscle stamina and quicker recovery.
✅ Carbs = Steady Energy: Apples and wraps offer fiber and natural sugars that keep energy levels stable without a sugar crash.
