Smoothies are a good start Essentially you want a good balance of Carbohydrate (from Grains like pasta, bread, rice etc. Or starchy vegetables like potato) and protein (meat, fish, dairy, nuts, seeds, eggs). Adding fruits and veg to the mix as often as possible is great too. The carbs give your body something to burn as energy to fuel your practices and game.

Whole grains are best because they have additional vitamins to help performance. The protein helps to repair, maintain and build muscle. A smoothie in the morning with fruit + some kind of protein (milk or yogurt?

) and a couple of slices of whole wheat toast (for even more protein, add peanut butter to it if you like) would be great. You also want a good balanced meals for ALL meals, especially those leading up to the game. However, it is probably not the best idea to have something heavy within the couple of hours just before the practice or game because it could cause cramps in your stomach -- so get your nutrition before that.

If you need food within the couple hours before the game, choose easily digestible like fruit - a banana before the game, or orange slices during the game. Also, hydrate like crazy. Your urine should be clear or nearly clear.
