Turning veggie
I started to look at my diet and ways I can improve what I eat to improve my health, running and recovery times. Last year I suffered with stomach troubles in most of my long runs and I didn't want to go through that again so some things have to change.
After reading Scott Jurek's latest book I got intrigued about a vegetarian diet. I have never been a big meat eater and always loved salads and vegetables so switching to veggie for me would be relatively easy. I am at the experiment stage right now, reading books and trying out different recipe options.
I have started having smoothies but these are unlike the ones that you buy from the shops, full of sugar and you don't really know what has been put in them. I often have one for breakfast or as a mid morning snack. One recipe so far is :
1 Banana
2 handful of soft fruit (blueberries, strawberries, peach etc)
1 tbsp hemp protein powder
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tbsp maca powder
1 tbsp flaxseed powder
2 tbsp almond butter
1.5 tbsp Oil
2 cups of water
I am loving these and loving trying out the new recipes
