What can I eat to sustain an early morning workout?

[MichelleJustAsking]

I really want to start working out in the mornings before work, but I'm worried that I won't have enough in my morning stomach to sustain a quality workout.

What can I eat in the AM that will sustain me and how long should I eat before I workout? I can't exactly eat something... then wait 30 min to digest it before getting going.

I usually eat a banana and drink some water when I wake up and then I go for a jog or to the gym for weight training. After my workout, I drink a big smoothie for breakfast. It works well for me, and I have enough energy.

I drink half a scoop of protein and hit the gym, then 1 full scoop afterwards. if you're going super early you don't need to eat and wait.
