This is currently how I consume my daily half cup of tart cherry juice. I started drinking this breakfast shake about 2 years ago when looking to move away from my previous staple (that served me SO WELL for so many years until all of a sudden it didn’t any longer). And I must say, even a number of years …
There are many, many ways to help our bodies become more metabolically efficient – which will serve us well if we wish to run for years to come, not to mention maintain good health for running presently. One of my favourite strategies has been to switch over from a heavy carb-based breakfast to a fat-based breakfast, to help train the …
There are so many reasons to consume bone broth on a daily basis! Bone broth is packed with the amino acids arginine (boosts immunity and is required for production of growth hormone), glutamine (protects the gut lining), glucosamine (supports joint health), glycine (prevents breakdown of muscle tissue and improves sleep quality), and proline (helps regenerate cartilage and repair leaky gut). Bone broth also contains the minerals calcium, …
Not everyone loves the taste of matcha… And I get it – that’s cool. So that is where this recipe comes in (hopefully you like chocolate). A delicious mildly spicy hot chocolate with all of the ergogenic and anti-inflammatory benefits of matcha – but the matcha taste is totally hidden beneath the chocolate and spices! And for those of you …
This fantastic post-workout recovery shake was one of the first recipes I ever developed here at Eat2Run Sports Nutrition. It meets the requirements for optimal recovery being carb-rich and with protein in the ideal ratio of 4:1 or 3:1 carbs to protein. For faster recovery, be sure to drink it within 20 to 30 minutes of finishing your long or hard …
Wanted a mid afternoon snack today and this hit the spot perfectly! Peaches remind me of summer so with this drop in temperature (and impending snow in the forecast), I’m choosing to dream of warmer running weather! This shake offers ~45 grams of carbohydrate, so could make a decent recovery shake post-run as well. Makes 1 serving. Ingredients 1 cup almond …
We know we’re supposed to eat more leafy greens… They are, after all, THE most nutrient-dense foods available to us. But who says you can’t drink them?! Green smoothies are a fantastic way to get a large dose of the dark leafy greens so full of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. The practice of a daily green smoothie will help to boost …
A runner’s take on Bulletproof Coffee! While acute amounts of cortisol from complimentary stress can be beneficial, elevated or chronically high cortisol is not a runners friend. For support in finding lasting energy, that’s low stress on the body, and entirely plant based, try this recipe for our “Bonk Proof” coffee… This recipe was inspired by my desire to reduce my total caffeine …
Looking for a pick-me-up but know that reaching for coffee probably isn’t the best idea? Try this! It’ll give you just the right mix of energy. Matcha (and green tea) provides an energy boost that is more ‘zen’ (due to a substance contained in green tea called theanin, which induces the release of GABA and dopamine, neurotranasmitters that make us …
I’ve always loved the chocolate mint combo – which is great because peppermint and cacao both come with great health benefits. Of course chocolate mint combos usually have a tonne of sugar accompanying them and therefore aren’t always a great choice. However, this shake is technically sugar-free… It uses medjool dates (aka natures candy) and a ripe banana as sweetener. …
