What are some foods that i can bring to work with me, that do not require a microwave, but may be refrigerated. that i can consume for my pre workout meal?

something I have found that is quick and easy to take to work. Is a shake consisting of 1 cup ground oats = 54g carbs, 1 packet carnation instant breakfast =27g carbs, 5g protein 1 scoop protein = 3g carbs, 22g protein, total 84g carbs and 27g of protein mix with cold water. hint on the oats, grind them in a coffee grinder 1/2 cup at a time until it is a powder.

I do something similar before an early AM workout using PSlin - and agree with the grinding for quicker digestion.

1+1/2 cups oats ground fine
1 banana
1 teaspoon of honey
1 scoop of whey with water

~90g carbs 80:20 complex:simple = sweet spot

Why not make a homemade protein bar with whole foods and peanut butter? Let me know if you're interested in the recipe!

Oats soaked in water for 15 mins gets nice and soggy and pretty quick digesting for pre workout. That's all I do.

Rosemary triscuits are fantastic. I discovered them when I snagged a box away from a friend while admonishing him for eating "Junk Food", then I saw they were 100% Wholewheat, not fried and tasted amazing. I almost started buying them, then noticed they had to include MSG

I'm curious what a mullet-bar looks and tastes like tho

^ Hells yes.


1 cup oats
6 scoops protein powder
6 tbsp natty PB
1/2 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
(touch of splenda and/or cocoa if you wish [cocoa is very high in potassium, btw])

Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl; the mixture will be crumbly, flaky, and form into little globs when mixed thoroughly. Add in water, fold thoroughly. Add additional splenda and/or cocoa. Grease glass baking pan with Crisco, and place mixture into pan. Place pan in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, until desired consistency. Make sure to grease and precut, or the bars will never come out.

Using a high-quality chocolate whey produces bars which taste very similar to Reese's Peanut Butter cups. If bulking, substitute 2 tbsp Natty PB with good ol' fashioned Kraft Creamy for a rich and substantially better flavor.

Is natty Peanut Butter a US Brand?

[Mulletsoldier]

Nope, just shorthand for natural peanut butter.
