I am having this problem now, I just moved to a new role with a gym, and would like to use the facilities daily for both cardio and weights, however, I get so tiered and feel completely deflated, had a long talk with the trainer there about a pre workout snack, I really don't want to use the protein shakes, he insisted on half a banana, but I know I wont be stopping when I have the half, even though I agree, once I had about 3 bananas and went to the gym, I ran 5K with no issues at all even though I haven't been running for years, but its a no no at the moement, same goes for grape juice (another of his suggestion).
He then suggested nuts, I know some people have a 2tsp of peanut butter as a pre-workout snack.
I know liver is a good snack actually, gives me a lot of energy, but that's not going to be available daily.
The other options are a cup of Greek yoghurt, or cottage cheese, which sometimes is also recommended post workout.
