Fruit, such as bananas and apples, are great options for gymnasts as they provide natural sugars and are easy to digest.

Protein bars and shakes are also good options for gymnasts as they provide a quick source of protein and can be consumed on-the-go.

Trail mix, granola bars, and crackers with peanut butter are other snack options that provide a good balance of carbohydrates and protein.
