For most people, fitting a workout into a busy schedule is close to impossible. And if you do get that workout in, you probably won't have time to eat something before, therefore you won't have that much energy to put into your workout. If you're one of these people, you're in luck, there are certain foods that are quick, easy, and beneficial for you to scarf down before your workout.

1. Blueberry banana protein smoothie

Throw some blueberries, bananas, milk and yogurt into a blender and let it all mix together while you change into your workout clothes. You'll find yourself working out so much harder than you would've on an extra stomach.

2. Apples with peanut butter

This is super easy to make as you're running out the door. All you have to do is cut up some apples, grab a spoonful of peanut butter and you're good to go.

3. Turkey avocado rolls

Grab some avocado slices and turkey out of the fridge and quickly roll them up. You can even eat these while driving to the gym!

4. Carrots with hummus

Not only are carrots good to eat for your eye sight, but they're a great snack to shove down before a workout!

5. Trail mix

Now that you know trail mix is an option, there's no excuse to not eat before a workout! You can either buy it pre-made at the store, or if you have a little extra time, you can make it yourself.

6. Cheese and crackers

If you thought trail mix was easy, it just got easier. Just throw some cheese on some crackers and eat them while on your way to the gym. To be honest, it really doesn't get easier than cheese and crackers as a pre-workout snack.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
