Every experienced yogi knows that yoga is not only a physical practice, it’s also a way of life that includes healthy eating habits. A healthy diet will give you enough energy for your workouts, but it’ll also improve your health and performance. Here are some of the best foods to support your yoga practice.

Cocoa

Cocoa is an underrated ingredient that has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Consuming cocoa on a daily basis is an easy way to improve your health and you can do that by adding it to your smoothies, granola bars, coffee, pudding, or simply sprinkling it over fruit.

Quinoa

Quinoa is an excellent source of protein which means it’s great for boosting concentration and energy, something that every yogi needs.

Tofu

Many yogis are also vegetarians which means that tofu is one of the staples in their diet. Tofu is not only nutritious and a great source of protein, it’s also a versatile ingredient you can use for preparing many different meals.

Lemon and Water

A cup of warm water with just a splash of lemon juice is a great way to kick-start your day. Every yogi knows that drinking enough water is key for staying healthy and energized so make sure to always have a water bottle with you.
