Most treats are high in carbs and/or sugar… And what I see most often are cases where a runner is actually needing more healthy fats in their diet. Therefore, to round out a meal with some ‘dessert’ at the end, or even as a snack, these fat bombs can prove quite useful. They are both a tasty treat and at 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 …
Always looking for new carb loading snacks! This one was created for hubby, who just LOVES peanut butter. So while you won’t see much peanut butter in the eat2run recipes, it works really well here for anyone who just can’t get enough of that yummy peanut butter taste. And of course needs to carb load (or have carb-rich snacks readily …
Originally developed for during fat-loading in prep for a race, these ‘fat bombs’ have been an ongoing experiment for the past year – a perfect LCHF (low carb, high fat) snack for all those times you are NOT just headed out the door for a run and therefore don’t need a high carb snack! Of course you could add way more …
This is a recipe that lately I’ve found myself making all the time – as well as demoing at seminars and workshops… And telling people yes for sure it’s on my website… Only to realize today, that oops no, it’s not on my website (ack, sorry to those who may have searched for it and come up empty handed!)… So here it is. Developed nearly 2 years ago in …
Hummus. I’ve been eating this stuff for years upon years upon years. It’s probably one of the most well-rounded snacks out there, providing a nice mix of protein, healthy fats and carbs. It’s also the one thing I’ve found that no matter where I find myself – small towns or large cities – any grocery store sells hummus and baby carrots. …
I think I might have just found my new race morning muffin. Since both chocolate and beets are known for their ergogenic effects (meaning they contain compounds, namely nitrates, that have been shown to increase the efficiency of our energy producing cells as well as increase time to exhaustion when running and improve speed), these new chocolate beet muffins may …
Ohhhhh my these are my new favourite muffin!! And hubby’s new favourite – and soon to be your new favourite 😉 Seriously though, it’s hard to stop at just at just one! Needless to say, these will be solidly worked into my snack lineup along with my staple Power Cookies, trail mix and green smoothies. They would also make a great …
I wanted to try making a fruit square that used a sort of ‘chia jam’ as it’s middle layer… Worked like a charm 🙂 These make a great pre-run snack or even a quick on-the-go breakfast! They would also make a great option to have on hand when carb-loading for a race. Makes 16 squares. Base & Top Ingredients 1½ …
Toast toppers are all the current rage, and I knew I wanted to add this one to the mix. Although I rarely eat toast, this is definitely the way I’d ever want to do so, by topping each slice with a thick creamy layer of beet walnut hemp spread! You might also dip crackers into this mix, or even use as …
