​​Homemade pre workout drink for fitness enthusiasts​


Pre-workout drinks like whey protein or flavoured muscle gainers are a popular option for the gym goers. However, there’s a lot of hullabaloo around their safety and potential side effects. Many people are unable to digest whey and other fitness supplements as they cause increased bowel motions, headaches, fatigue, bloating, acne, nausea, and thirst.

If you’re on the lookout for a healthy pre-workout drink that is effective, boosts energy, contains oodles of protein and has no side effects whatsoever, your wait ends here. You may make a homemade pre-workout drink that offers a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and a modest caffeine boost by combining sattu (roasted gram flour), jaggery, and coffee. This is a straightforward recipe for a homemade pre-workout beverage:

2/5

​​Ingredients to make this pre-workout drink​



2 tablespoons sattu (roasted gram flour)
1 tablespoon grated jaggery (adjust to taste)
1 cup brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
Water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Ice cubes (optional)

3/5

​​Instructions to prepare the homemade pre-workout drink​



Make a cup of coffee the way that suits you best. Allow it to reach room temperature.
Grate jaggery and blend sattu in a blender or shaker.
Add the brewed coffee to the combination of jaggery and sattu.
Give it a good shake in a shaker. Make sure the jaggery and sattu are thoroughly dissolved.
You can add water to the mixture if it's too thick to get the right consistency.
Transfer the pre-workout drink into a glass. If you would want your beverage colder, feel free to add ice cubes.

​​Nutritional components present in this pre-workout drink​



Carbohydrates from the sattu and jaggery provide you a rapid energy boost for your workout. Protein, which is necessary for muscle growth and repair, is provided by sattu. Caffeine is a naturally occurring stimulant found in coffee that can increase alertness and boost athletic performance. The drink's liquid content aids in hydration, which is important when exercising.

5/5

​​Word of caution​



Especially if you're sensitive to caffeine, be aware of your tolerance and limit your intake. Prior to making major dietary changes, those with certain medical issues should speak with a healthcare provider. This homemade pre-workout beverage may be tailored to individual tastes and delivers a variety of nutrients. Always pay attention to what your body is telling you, and change ingredients as necessary to get the best results.
