Let’s talk about golf snacks. If you love to play golf, the heat can really take its toll on you. I do a good job of staying hydrated, drinking water before play then making sure that I sip every 15 minutes while in the game, but feeling great in high temperature is a challenge!
What I eat prior to playing a game of golf definitely impacts how I feel, thus impacting how I play. If you want to try a light snack instead of a meal before your next game in high temperatures, indulge in this: No Bake Peanut Butter Bites. Although I have adapted this recipe, I don’t claim it as my own. Most of the ingredients will probably already be in your kitchen and these bites can be made in 10 minutes with all variations of ingredients based on your taste and diet restrictions.
This recipe is wonderful to enjoy without turning on your oven and heating up your kitchen. Store them in the freezer for up to two months giving you have a cold, chewy snack to enjoy right before your next game! The heat can be tolerable if you know how to manage it!
