Trader Joe’s has a reputation for making surprisingly delicious (and protein-packed) snacks. And it turns out many of them are also healthy, dietitian-approved options for fueling your workouts. “I love recommending items at Trader Joe’s for before, during, and after workouts because they tend to be budget-friendly, effective, and easy to find,” says sports dietitian and running coach Amanda Wagner, RDN.
Whether you’re on the hunt for carbs that will give you a quick energy boost before or during your workout (without sending you searching for a bathroom) or the kind of protein-filled recovery foods that your muscles crave after exercise, Trader Joe’s has it all.
