Recipe: Matcha Energy Bites

sarah cuff June 15, 2014 Food for Runners, Phytonutrients, Recipes for Runners 2 Comments

It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of matcha and to have found a way to not only drink it (I am in love with my morning matcha latte) but now eat it… Mmmm, divine. Why am I such a huge fan? Matcha has been shown to aide us in the following ways: Raise energy levels for up to 4-5 …

I took in my carbs before and after my first hard session this morning. This was purely for the joy of eating the rainbow and adding as many micronutrients to my day as possible.

Since weve been talking about hydration, I wanted Since weve been talking about hydration, I wanted to provide a recipe that is chalked full of electrolytes, fiber, and fruits and vegetable that are plump with water. Magnesium can be found in dark leafy greens and pumpkin seeds. Quinoa and chickpeas are both rich in fiber and protein. Fibre along with hydration helps to create bulk in your stool as well as improve the absorption and assimilation of nutrients into your cells.  Greens, cucumber, raspberries, and peaches are high in water content will add to hydration levels. Enjoy! Quinoa & Roasted Chickpea Rainbow Salad (6 servings) 2 cups Chickpeas (cooked) 1 1/2 tsp Coconut Oil (melted) 1/2 tsp Sea Salt 1 cup Quinoa (dry) 1 3/4 cups Water 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste) 6 cups Mixed Greens 1 Cucumber (diced) 1 Nectarine (pitted and thinly sliced) 1 cup Raspberries 1/4 cup Pumpkin Seeds 1/4 cup Basil Leaves (finely sliced) Preheat the oven to 425ºF (218ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chickpeas dry and toss them with the melted coconut oil and sea salt. Spread them across the baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir at the halfway mark. While the chickpeas roast, cook the quinoa by combining the quinoa and water in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside. Prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a jar. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to taste and mix well. Add the mixed greens to a large bowl. Top with quinoa, roasted chickpeas, cucumber, nectarine, raspberries, pumpkin seeds, and basil. Drizzle with dressing and toss well. #nourishingperformance #holisticnutrition #hydration #electrolytes #fuelyourbody #supportyourtraining #supportyourbody #eattherainbow #endurancesports
We have a tendency to think that if we are using l We have a tendency to think that if we are using liquid fuel options that that counts as hydration, and I suggest that you keep your fuel and hydration separate. An important consideration is, if the concentration of fuel that you take in, has a higher concentration than your bloodstream, you will not be able to absorb it, leading to lack of energy, cramps and eventual digestive distress. So, you want to make sure that you are hydrating as well as fueling. I would like to invite you to read my recent blog post on Hydration and Athletic Performance. :: Link in Bio:: #nourishingperformance #hydration #holisticnutrition #endurancesports #fuelyourbody #supportyourtraining
Schisandra acts as a stimulant by acting on the ce Schisandra acts as a stimulant by acting on the central nervous system, improving cognition, and giving you some focus. The stimulatory effects are unlike caffeine that can give you the jitters, but just gives you focus and a boost in the brain. Schisandra also induces a little bit of oxidation in the mitochondria, the powerhouse of our cells. The more exposure our mitochondria has to this slight oxidation, the more they adapt to it and ultimately become more robust in an oxidizing environment such as exercising muscles. This is a positive reaction from a from a physicality and cognitive standpoint. Schisandra acts as a stimulant by acting on the central nervous system, improving cognition, and giving you some focus.

This may look familiar to those of you that get ou This may look familiar to those of you that get our newsletter! 😉🥬🥦🍓 As the weather changes, so does the freshness and nutrient values of the produce we consume. A great way to ensure we are getting the highest quality nutrients from the foods we eat, is to be aware of what foods are the ripest and freshest each season. 🥬 Eating seasonally has some great benefits: Some of the nutrients in produce, such as Vitamin C, carotenes, and antioxidants will degrade after being harvested, stored and transported over long periods of time. The quicker you can consume the produce after harvest will likely mean the food contains a higher quality nutrient value, which is more beneficial to your body. 🍓Eating seasonally is friendly on your weekly grocery budget. Farmers are harvesting a greater abundance of these seasonal foods, therefore the cost of produce will go down. It is an added bonus if you eat seasonally and locally, because there will be no shipping and storage expenses, which can make the costs higher for consumers. 🥦Seasonal eating is more environmentally-friendly. When you choose to eat seasonally it reduces the demand of the produce that is out of season, increasing the support for local farmers in your area. Eating locally means less transportation, less exposure the produce has to contaminates, and less refrigeration practices.

The time when perimenopause begins is also a time The time when perimenopause begins is also a time in life when there are many other stressors that compound the stress effect. This is a time when many women have kids that are teenagers, or maybe a little bit younger, and they are going through things that put pressure on you. Your parents are getting older and may require more care and time. You may be at an important place in your career and of course you also have performance goals and expectations for your sport. All of these extraneous stressors compound and complicate some of the issues that you’re having with hormone fluctuation during perimenopause and the effects carry over into menopause. I invite you to read my latest blog post on adaptogens that help mitigate those stresses on our body and our body's response to stress.

Kaydee here! This is an appropriate share on my re Kaydee here! This is an appropriate share on my recovery/off day. Recovery days are just as important as active training days! The body is insanely amazing! Thank you @stevemagness for this incredible video and information! After muscle damage from exercise, myonuclei move towards the injury and start the repair process by delivering mRNA to start reconstructing the muscle. They fill the hole, and start laying down protein to make that muscle stronger. In the video, you can see the myonuclei scooting towards the damage. So the next time you do that really hard workout, and are tempted to go hard again to prove that you are 'tough'... Just remember those poor myonuclei scooting along, trying to fill that hole, and repair the damage you caused! Be kind to your myonuclei… and support them with proper nutrition pre/post workouts! Visit our @eat2run site (link in bio) for various tips and information on how to best support your training with nutrition! #restdaybrags 💪🏻 #eat2run #recovery
Hey Team, it's Tanya here. Like you, I've are watc Hey Team, it's Tanya here. Like you, I've are watching the situation in Ukraine with great sadness. The ongoing conflict will have devastating humanitarian consequences for the people of Ukraine. As endurance athletes, we can choose to support the humanitarian efforts as a community, by lacing up our shoes and Run for Ukraine. While out on a training vacation, my good friend Julie and I thought it would be a great idea to set up a virtual marathon to collect donations to support the Canadian Red Cross and their efforts in the Ukraine humanitarian crisis. We would like to invite you to join us in this fundraising opportunity.

Combining a small amount of protein with carbohydr Combining a small amount of protein with carbohydrates in your recovery meal has been shown to be more effective for promoting glycogen recovery than carbohydrate alone. Aim for 1 gram of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight plus protein in a 3:1 ratio. This smoothie has 72 grams carbs: 27 grams protein. Having this within 30-60 min of finishing your session will replace the glycogen stores used up from training and provide the protein building blocks to start the recovery process.  Mango Green Smoothie Bowl 1 Banana (frozen) 1 cup Frozen Mango 1 cup Baby Spinach 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk 1/2 Kiwi (peeled and sliced) 1/2 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen) 1 tbsp Hemp Seeds Throw the banana, frozen mango, baby spinach, protein powder and almond milk into a blender. Blend well until smooth. Pour into a bowl and top with kiwi, blueberries, hemp seeds and any other favourite toppings. Enjoy! #nourishingperformance #fuelyourbody #holisticnutrition #endurancesports #supportyourtraining #recoverynutrition
We know that nutrition is important to our enduran We know that nutrition is important to our endurance sport journey, but I’ve found that for some reason it can be the last thing we really focus on. The gains from a good nutrition plan aren’t always as drastic as doing a hard run or bike where the sweat rolling off your chin makes you feel like you’re working in the right direction, towards your goals. But what I have found for myself and many of my athletes is the nutrition can make or break your training and performance more than any structured training plan. So, if you are going to put in all that time, effort and probably money, into developing your body into the performance machine you’re looking for, then why wouldn’t you add in the best possible nutrition and strategies to support all that hard work. I would like to invite you to read my recent blog post on Top 10 Nutrition Tips for Endurance Athletes. :: Link in Bio:: #nourishingperformance #fuelyourbody #supportyourtraining #endurancesports #holisticnutrition

While are discussing how to plan out your triathlo While are discussing how to plan out your triathlon training plan, I thought it would be a good idea to give you a long training session snack option. These Matcha Energy Balls are easy to prepare and store well in the freezer for later. Dates are a wonderful source of carbohydrates for energy but are high in fibre so you will have to be careful on how many you eat over a long session. Matcha has caffeine that can boost brain function, improve alertness, performance, memory, and focus. Matcha Energy Balls 1 cup Almonds 3/4 cup Hazelnuts 1 1/2 Tbsp Green Tea Powder (matcha) 1 1/2 Tbsp Coconut Oil 1 cup Pitted Dates 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes 1/4 tsp Sea Salt Add the almonds, hazelnuts, green tea powder, coconut oil, dates, coconut flakes and sea salt to a food processor and blend until well mixed and sticky. Transfer to a medium-size mixing bowl. Form into even balls with your hands, roughly 1-inch in diameter. Dust with more green tea powder if desired. Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy. #holisticnutrition #fuelyourbody #supportyourtraining #energyforsport #endurancesports #running #triathlontraining #cyclinglife
