Fuel Your Workout

The first quarter of 2016 has almost been and gone (along with most of our good intentions!), if you have been more successful than the majority of the Hunter’s team and are still using the gym membership you purchased at the end of December, then let us be the first to congratulate you! If you’re in need of a little food-based encouragement let Hunters help you out with a list of deliciously healthy, workout boosting snacks and treats from our Hunter’s Gourmet and Hunter’s Collection ranges.

1. Lizi’s Granola is the perfect choice for a breakfast to get you running! Natural, healthy and completely unique, it is G.L measured and has no artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes so it fuels you for longer. If you cant wait to get started grab one of the Lizi’s ‘On The Go’ pots of creamy granola or add a handful to yogurt and fresh fruit for a delicious start to your day.

2. Hunter’s Gourmet Chia seeds are a veritable powerhouse! Jammed full of Omega 3 fatty acid and known to lower the risk of coronary heart disease and improve cholesterol. Add whole or ground into smoothies and juices, mix into yogurt (or sprinkle on your Lizi’s Granola!) for a super boost of energy any time of the day.

3. Once the initial buzz of post-exercise endorphins have started to wane keep your energy up and your heart healthy by snacking on a bag of tasty Sahale Snacks (now also available in Caribou Coffee if you’re passing) . A unique mix of glazed premium nuts, dried fruits and exotic spices in three delicious combinations.

4. Our Hunter’s Gourmet Organic Tri-Colour Quinoa is a fantastic base for any healthy meal! Cook with a low-sodium stock, your choice of fresh herbs and a lean meat and / or plenty of veg for a delicious energy packed pre-or post work out lunch. Naturally gluten-free and containing iron, B-vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, vitamin E and fiber, Quinoa is an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids.
