If you run in the morning, breakfast is an ideal time to eat fruits and vegetables, including tomato, onion, and red bell pepper. They’re rich in antioxidants that help reduce free radical damage caused by exercise. With their salty flavor, turkey bacon, feta cheese, and olive tapenade balance the natural sweetness of the apricots (and help replace sodium lost while sweating). They also provide protein and a bit of fat to help keep you fuller longer. Look for tapenade at the olive bar at most supermarkets.
