dates and peanut butter before yoga — genuinely changed things

Right so I've been messing around with pre-workout snacks for ages trying to find something that actually works without making me feel heavy in a downward dog. Landed on this: two medjool dates stuffed with peanut butter, maybe a small handful of roasted pumpkin seeds on the side. That's literally it. Takes two minutes. The dates give you something quick to burn through and the peanut butter slows it down enough that I'm not crashing halfway through. I do about 20 mins before practice and it just... works? I feel more consistent energy through the session, not that weird spike-and-drop thing. I used to do nothing before morning yoga because I thought you were supposed to practise fasted but honestly I was just tired the whole time lol. This is so much better for me personally. Chai tried to steal one off the mat. She knew.
