Hello and happy Friday! Sarah here… Yes it’s b Hello and happy Friday! Sarah here… Yes it’s been a very long time since I showed up in this space (thanks Tanya for holding down the fort). Ok let’s call this Friday Faves🤩 I wrote a blog on the deleterious effects of alcohol🍺🍷 it’s important info (in my opinion!) and the link is in the bio - but what I want to point out here is this delicious product: Run Wild IPA - it’s brilliant. Truly a favourite of mine these days!! Who else is enjoying non-alcoholic drinks these days? Any favourites you recommend?!! I like to sip my non-alcoholic beer in this cool glass I earned last year. Swipe left for pics of me (May 2022) completing the Survival of the Fittest 18K trail race whilst 8 months pregnant🥹 And the last pic is me and hubby a month ago snowshoeing with our lil man, crazy to think he’s nearly 8 months old already!!🥰 Happy weekend y’all, cheers🍻

I did remember to get in my recovery smoothie though 😋 Blueberry SunButter Smoothie Almond milk Tart cherry juice Mixed greens Vanilla protein powder Frozen blueberries SunButter Collagen #capra30x30 #running #holisticnutrition #holisticsportsnutrition #supportyourhormones #recoverynutrition #fuelyourbody #supportyourbody #triathlontraining #getoutthere #supportyourmentalhealth
Today's workouts were fueled by oats and matcha. Today's workouts were fueled by oats and matcha. As is the case with coffee, the caffeine in green tea can boost brain function, improve alertness, performance, memory, and focus. Another important component of green tea is L-theanine, an amino acid that can cross the blood-brain barrier and increase the activity of the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps reduce anxiety and makes you feel more relaxed. It’s also rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that could protect the brain from mental decline and supportperformance. Matcha Overnight Oats (1 serving) ◇ 1/2 cup Oats (rolled) ◇ 2/3 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk ◇ 1/4 tsp Green Tea Powder ◇ 1 tbsp Chia Seeds ◇ 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract ◇1/2 Banana (sliced) Add the oats, almond milk, green tea powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract together in a large container. Stir well to combine. Seal and place in the fridge overnight, or for at least eight hours. Remove the oats from the fridge. Divide into containers and top with the banana slices. Enjoy! #nourishingperformance #holisticsportsnutrition #holisticnutrition #fuelyourbody #supportyourtraining #supportyourhormones #keeptraining

Make your own energy gel from Sarah's recipe! Som Make your own energy gel from Sarah's recipe! Some runners experience their stomachs turn upside down upon consuming conventional packaged gels and some runners just like to know exactly what they are eating / choose the most natural option. This recipe is simple, delicious and contains chia, a source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids as well as a bit of protein (which helps the body absorb the energy-giving carbs found in the citrus juices, honey and maple syrup)! Each serving contains about 24g carbs (as per typical energy gels do). Makes 3 servings  Ingredients 1 orange 1 lemon 1 lime 2 Tbsp chia seeds 2 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp maple syrup dash sea salt Directions Squeeze the juice out of the orange, lemon and lime. I just cut each citrus fruit in half and use a lemon juicer. This will equal about ¾ cup of liquid. Whisk in the chia, honey, maple syrup and salt. Let sit in fridge overnight (or at least 30 minutes). Whisk again and pour into your gel flask and bring with you during your long run – consuming about ¼ cup every 45 minutes or so. #nourishingperformance #holisticnutrition #sportsnutrition #endurancesports #endurancesportnutrition #feulyourbody #supportyourtraining #digestivehealth #guthealth #triathlon #triathlontraining
I feel like we have all had an experience or two w I feel like we have all had an experience or two where you’re out there having a great ride or run and suddenly, you’re out of energy, or feeling crampy and nauseous or in a worst-case scenario looking desperately for somewhere to go the bathroom wishing you had a roll of toilet paper in your pocket. Fear of these scenarios happening can lead us to limiting how much we eat pre-workout as well as not taking in enough nutrition during our training sessions or race. This is so unfortunate because we know we need to nourish our bodies for the workout that we are doing but even more importantly to support our recovery so we can make the adaptations we are working so hard for as well as set ourselves up well for our next workout. With that in mind, I would like to invite you to read my recent blog post Training Your Gut for Athletic Performance. :: Link in Bio:: #nourishingperformance #holisticnutrition #sportsnutrition #endurancesports #endurancesportnutrition #feulyourbody #supportyourtraining #digestivehealth #guthealth triathlon #triathlontraining
