The Sweetest Workout Partner 💪

Most people know that being well rested, hydrated and fed can enhance the quality of your workout, but did you know that incorporating manuka honey can also help? Used by professional athletes, manuka honey is a great way to help your body get the most out of your exercise routine. Why?

When you work out, your muscles use glucose from your blood for energy so when you enjoy manuka before your session you're giving your body a leg-up by providing your muscles with the glucose they need!

Additionally, raw manuka honey provides easily digestible carbs that give you a quick to start, yet slow energy release without the crash. In fact, it's been shown as good or better than artificial snacks or drinks to maintain steady blood sugar throughout your workout.

Glucose also helps your brain, which helps you stay focused and on track to hitting those goals. Studies show enjoying raw honey consistently over the course of several weeks is a great way to support your brain and immune functions. Add to that, that manuka honey is also good at reducing inflammation in your body, which can build-up when under stress like a workout.

Add manuka to a snack or meal that also contains proteins and fats for the perfect pre sweat sesh trifecta! Some of our favorite combos are protein smoothie bowls or oatmeal bowls topped with nuts, yogurt parfaits or avocado toasts.
