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 …
Overnight oats may take a bit of prep the night before, but it’s well worth the effort in the morning (especially early mornings!!) when you feel short on time and often rushed. They are also ideal for race morning as they do not require heating, thus can be prepped in advance, taken anywhere, and then just eaten right out of …
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 …
In the past few months, this has become my absolute favourite for before a long or hard run – and a favourite of a number of clients also! I mean, Power Cookies will always be a favourite pre-workout snack, but I created these bars because I wanted a VERY easy to digest bar (low fibre / protein / fat, such …
In my attempt to come up with breakfast options that are not so very carb dense (most breakfasts just are!!), I came across paleo granola – and thought what a grand idea. But would it actually work? Would it taste any good? Turns out YES and YES! In fact, it’s now my new favourite (as most recipes are when I …
I first came across scrambled tofu as a fantastic alternative to scrambled eggs what feels like forever ago – but has become a tried and true favourite. It not only works as a great breakfast food, it also makes for a quick and easy ’emergency’ dinner! Plus it utilizes the amazing highly anti-inflammatory turmeric spice and is jam packed full of …
In experimenting with a lower carb / higher fat way of eating for a few weeks, I had to find a substitute for my usual Banana Oat weekly pancakes. These totally did the trick! Basically, they swap out the oats (high in carbs, low in fat) for almond butter (high in fat, lower in carbs). They still use banana, so …
I’ve always loved peaches. Seriously, nothing beats a bowl of fresh, perfectly ripened-on-the-tree peaches when they are in season (July/August). The problem I run into is, that I swear peach season just never lasts long enough! So this is when I happily turn to California cling peaches, which are picked and packed in their own juices, usually within 24 hours to ensure they retain …
This smoothie bowl was a near daily staple for me as I attempted to follow the 10-day fat-loading protocol last month in prep for my Seawheeze half marathon. In fact I enjoyed it so much I now incorporate it into my weekly nutrition plan! I must add, the fat-loading totally worked – although initially skeptical, I ended up running my strongest and fastest …
I seriously don’t know how I survived before these pancakes came into my life only a few short months ago, thanks to an idea from speedy runner Kinsey Gomez!! I’ve always loved pancakes, but felt guilty eating them – really they were just flattened dessert cakes with syrup on them in which I was trying to pass for breakfast. Then I began …
