Staying focused on an empty stomach is difficult, even for the most committed yogis. Here are 7 great ways to fuel up before your next practice.
1. Low-fat Yogurt
Yogurt is high in carbs and low in fat—the perfect snack. Sprinkle with some almonds or mix with chia seeds for extra protein.

5. Tea with Milk & Honey
This snack won’t leave you feeling full, but it will provide enough calories to get you through your practice, plus an added pick-me-up from the caffeine.
