Tanya’s pre/post-workout nutrition tips:

I mostly work out in the morning, so I usually start my day with Bulletproof French Kick coffee with PicNik Keto creamer (made with grass fed butter+MCT oil). If I’m teaching, I will usually fuel up for more endurance with Qi’a Super Seeds & Grains oatmeal. For personal workouts, I eat egg whites, spinach and avocado.

Post-workout I usually have a protein shake (Vega Protein Made Simple in Caramel Toffee flavor) or a hard-boiled egg. I use coconut water to hydrate.
