2. Radio Personality Christina “Ms. Basketball” Granville
I love fruit! Pineapples, grapes, oranges, and apples are my favorite.
3. Fitness Coach and Health Coach Kaedi Bowers

4. Fitness Influencer and Entrepreneur Tae-León
My favorite snacks are oven-roasted turkey breast, air-popped popcorn, plain Cheerios, almond butter, multigrain crackers, fruit, almond milk, oatmeal, and protein bars!
5. Celebrity Trainer and Author Laeann Amos-Reed
You will always find me munching on a lean protein such as ground turkey, chicken breast, seafood, green leafy veggies, and when I have those sweet tooth moments my go-to is fresh fruit.
6. Certified Personal Trainer, Athlete, and Fitness Vlogger Vynnessa Smith
Usually, it’s a romaine salad with protein (either chicken or shrimp), a very light dressing, and water. Afterward, I like to replenish with a protein shake and some sort of carb to refresh my energy stores.
7. Personal Trainer and Health Educator Salina Duggan
I love having a bowl of steel-cut oats mixed with banana, blueberries, and some honey drizzled on top. I really enjoy the Orgain Organic Protein (which is a plant-based protein powder). I put a scoop in with my water or almond milk, and it’s a great source of protein post-workout!
8. Personal Trainer and Nutritionist Brittany Timpson
My favorite pre-workout meal is taco seasoned ground turkey with black beans and jasmine rice. I refuel with half of an avocado and two boiled eggs!
9. Personal Trainer Ndjèbayi Nadege
My pre-workout can be avocado toast, some turkey, and an apple, or my favorite — peanut butter! My refuel? A full meal! My training sessions are often crazy, so after I NEED food — protein, veggies, and sometimes rice.
