What Broadway Stars Eat for Snacks

Packing healthy snacks is always a challenge for me. I'm always on the go and need quick, easy eats to fuel my workout, refuel after a workout, boost my energy, or just settle my growling stomach. I've discovered my go-tos but I decided to turn to a few Broadway stars for more ideas on how they keep healthy on the go! Take a look at what these performers eat for snacks.

Beth Nicely: "I’m a huge fan of dark chocolate covered almonds (specifically Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate covered almonds with turbinado sugar and sea salt), a little, sweet, salt, and protein!  I definitely eat dark chocolate before every show I do.  Bananas are also a go-to…great source of iron."

Paul Schaefer: "...a pint of fresh blueberries. I eat a lot of food so there’s not much time for snacks. Some good organic salted cashews is a quick helper."

Paloma Garcia-Lee: "Sesame Cashews from Trader Joes. Seltzer water and some Dark Salted Chocolate. NOM!"

Albert Guerzon: "I’m a huge fan of Shakeology.  Beachbody’s protein shake.  I literally have it every morning and in the middle of my day.  I EAT A LOT.  I do so much cardio at work it’s hard to keep muscle on my body.

Laura Osnes: "My husband is the cook of the family, and if it weren’t for him, I’d probably live on trail mix, apples/celery with peanut butter, tuna and crackers, and chips with salsa, haha.."

Nicholas Cunningham: "I really enjoy fresh orange juice, hard boiled eggs or bananas, not together, obviously. I boil my eggs in a cooker from Cuisinart (go out and buy one they are a life saver) some times up to eight at a time so have them ready to go when ever I want. Orange juice is always good to have for a natural energy boost, also I love the taste. I never eat sweets for an energy boost as it always spikes, and you crash quickly. Fruit on the other hand with all it’s natural goodness will release those sugars over a much longer arch and you’ll find it easier to produce work that way, bananas I find are the best for that result."

Ciara Renee: "I’ve really gotten into Juice Generation lately. I’m a huge fruit consumer, but have trouble with greens, so having them all mixed together without anything added is a huge win, and it makes me feel a lot better too after my workouts!"

Adam Jepsen: "A protein shake. During intermission at shows I generally have a cliff bar or an apple or orange. My roommate is getting me interested in Quest Bars though…so that will most likely replace my Cliff Bar snack soon."
