Steps

Toast it dark
Split a whole-grain English muffin in half. Toast both halves until the edges are golden brown.

Spread the peanut butter
Spread 1 tbsp peanut butter on each half while still warm so it melts slightly.

Top with banana and eat
Slice 1 banana into coins. Layer onto each half. Eat both halves with a glass of milk.
Coach's notes
- Whole grain matters. White English muffins crash sugar mid-game.
- Peanut butter has natural protein and fat. Combined with the banana carbs you get slow-release energy.
- Allergy swap: sun butter works the same way.
