I don’t why, but I really believe these energy bites, or any energy bar or bite really do give you an added boost of energy before a workout. Technically you can take these after a workout too, if you feel fatigued after a workout too. But me, I prefer indulging in one 15 minutes before a workout.
Oh my gosh, I never even told you guys about how I converted one of our bedrooms into a workout room. When the last boy moved out March 1, this is what I did to his bedroom.
Do you like it? Would it motivate you if you had a designated room to work out?
I enjoy working out at home and I workout to a 20 minute cardio and strength training video using YouTube.
Back to these energy bites. I am telling you, these bites have magic powers. Well, at least I would like to think so.
Make some and let me know what you think.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
