Welcome, welcome, welcome to the LAST week in the Top 10 Foods for Runners series! A monumental event, for sure. We’ve had quite the journey, haven’t we? *Reminiscing* Yes, yes, we’ve had some good times. But all good and wonderful things must come to an end. And since I made this the top TEN foods, this happens to…
Let me just start off by saying I am a pizza crust purist. I think if you choose to make your pizza crust out of something like cauliflower or zucchini instead of flour, you’re truly missing out on one of the more beautiful things in life. However, if you and gluten don’t get along or you don’t have…
Move over every other salad ever, tahini granola and blood orange salad has arrived. This salad… It’s crunchy, creamy, sweet, tart, savory, filling, and wonderful. It’s everything you want a salad to be, I promise. Plus, the granola is tasty both on and off the salad, which is how granola should be. This recipe makes a little extra…
OH my goodness. Dark chocolate granola bark, where have you been all my life? I should have figured out this combination long ago. Dark chocolate: Good. Granola: Good. Together: A beautiful symphony. Perfect for a snack or dessert, dark chocolate granola bark has your back. It’s perfectly sweet and crunchy and each bite is different from the last.…
If you haven’t noticed, bananas are a staple in nearly every “best foods for runners” list. You see them at the end of nearly every race. They are often the prime example of a perfect “pre-run snack.” So naturally, they deserve a place here. As far as fruits go, bananas are probably going to be your best investment…
Fun fact: I used to hate quinoa. The texture was just too weird. I think I was eating it wrong or something because now I willingly eat it every day. You can even eat it for breakfast, how crazy is that?? This flavor combo comes from a smoothie I drank in Thailand. I drank a lot of smoothies…
Not gonna lie, I was a little surprised by how great this sandwich turned out. All the flavors worked together like they had known each other all their lives. The sandwich was creamy, full of flavor, and just the right amount of sweet. I used sprouted grain bread, but if you’re looking for something more substantial (like post-long…
Okay so it’s not technically week 8… I kind of dropped the ball for a bit. It’s not a good sign when you feel exhausted by just the thought of sitting down to write. I felt like that for a month or two, knowing I just needed to let it pass. There’s no use putting in half-hearted work…
Fajita bowls not for the faint of heart. Honestly, these bowls could probably serve 3-4, but they were created with hungry people in mind. There are a decent amount of components to this dish to maximize flavor and nutrients, but it’s still completely manageable. I recommend cooking the rice, chicken, beans, and fajita mix a few days before. you…
This Mediterranean yogurt dip has it all. It’s tasty, full of flavor, and packed with nutrients. It’s perfect for a vegetarian dinner (Jackson and I destroyed the entire dip after a lengthy fartleck run the other day), a snack, or even to take to a party. It will keep a few days, but it’s best within the first…
