Whether you’re looking for carbs that will provide you with quick energy before or during your workout (without making you run to the bathroom) or protein-packed recovery foods that your muscles need after a workout, Trader Joe’s has it all.

To find the best workout snacks at Trader Joe’s, I consulted with three dietitians about the snacks they eat regularly and recommend to their clients for fuel before, during, or after a workout. I collated all of their recommendations and tasted each one myself. To choose which ones to include here and give each a rating from one to five, I judged each product based on digestibility, energy boost, taste and texture, longevity, and portability.
