Fuel Up: The Perfect Refresh Snacks for Runners

Nutritious pre-run snacks are key to a good run. If your body doesn’t have the fuel it needs, it will not be able to support you on your run. Runners should focus on snacks with high carbohydrate levels and moderate protein before a run, as well as hydration. Refresh Sips & Eats offers several snacks that will help you be your best on every run.

Granola bars are a fantastic option for a pre-run snack, and Refresh offers several tasty varieties. Our Kind Dark Chocolate Chunk bars offer a light but sweet snack with 24 grams of carbohydrates. Additionally, we also offer Nature Valley bars, another sweet and satisfying snack that have 29 grams of carbohydrates. Both of these granola bar options are easy ways to keep you energized throughout your run.

Another pre-run or post-run snack option is Refresh’s Oh Snap! Pickles. Pickles are a good source of potassium and electrolytes. Such features are ideal for preventing muscle cramps and keeping you hydrated on your run. Another great option for hydration is our variety of Gatorade beverages, which can be paired with any pre-run snack and are filled with electrolytes that are essential for any workout.

For an extra boost of protein, try our Slim Jims. Two Slim Jims have 11 grams of protein, offering just the right amount to provide runners with the stamina they need to make it through a long run without being too heavy.

These are just a few of the terrific snack options runners can grab from any Refresh vending machine or micromarket when squeezing a run in. Contact Refresh Sips & Eats today to learn more about our vending offerings.
