How to Use Sattu as a Pre-Workout Drink
The Perfect Pre-Workout Supplement:
Why Athletes Love This (All Natural) Super-Drink
For athletes like yourself, the search for the perfect pre-workout drink never ends. You want something that fuels your energy, keeps you going, and doesn’t upset your stomach.
While the market is flooded with supplements, powders, and ready-made drinks, Mother Nature has already given us a superfood that ticks all the boxes.
* Drum rolls please * Presenting, Sattu! This humble yet goated ingredient has been part of traditional Indian diets for centuries, you may have known it under its another moniker “black chana” or roasted gram.
Now my athlete friend, let’s explore why sattu is the perfect pre-workout drink for YOU!
What is Sattu?
Sattu is a flour made from roasted gram (chana). Sometimes other grains like barley or millet are added to it, but roasted chana basically is the primary ingredient. What sets sattu apart is its unique nutritional profile. It is high in protein, fibre and essential nutrients, making it an ideal energy booster. Sattu has been a staple in Indian households for generations, particularly up north in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand. Traditionally, it has been used to prepare drinks, porridges, and even savoury dishes.
Why does it make sense for you, you may ask? Because, athletes need a diet that supports their rigorous training routines and helps in quick recovery. And here are some reasons why sattu could be your next favourite premix:
1. It Is Rich In Protein
Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. Sattu is packed with high-quality plant-based protein, making it a great choice for athletes who need to fuel their muscles. One serving of sattu can provide around 20 grams of protein. For those who are already on other protein supplements, sattu is a great addition to your diet to increase your protein intake through the day and also help you get your dose of other nutrients like fibre, iron, etc.

2. It Gives A Quick Energy Boost
The carbohydrates in sattu are complex, which means they release energy slowly and steadily. This helps in maintaining your stamina throughout your workout. Unlike sugary drinks that cause a quick spike and crash, sattu keeps your energy levels stable.

Ahem-Ahem! Tips for Optimal Use
- Timing Matters: Have your sattu drink 10-20 minutes before your workout. This gives your body enough time to digest and absorb the nutrients.
- Stay Hydrated: If you’re adding sattu to your routine, ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day. While sattu helps with hydration, it’s important to maintain overall fluid intake.
- Combine with Fruits: Pair your sattu drink with fruits like bananas or dates for an added boost of natural sugars and potassium.
- Customise It: Fitlicious Sattu Pre-Mix is versatile. Experiment with flavors and ingredients to keep things interesting and suited to your taste.
