Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene which helps to protect you from the damaging effects of the sun's rays. They also contain vitamin C and a wealth of other nutrients. When buying these delicious root vegetables, choose carrots with the deepest, darkest orange color as they contain the highest levels of beta-carotene.
1 apple, cored and grated 2 carrots grated 1/2 cup currants 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 2 T lemon juice 1 T lemon zest 1 1/2 t grated fresh ginger 1/4 cup walnuts, soaked 6-8 hours, chopped 1 T shredded coconut Combine apple, carrots, currants, orange juice, lemon zest, and ginger. Stir in the walnuts and coconut just before serving. Here's one of my favourite breakfasts, grain free, low in carbs and full of healthy fats.
Ingredients: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds 1 tbsp chia seeds 1/4 cup walnuts (or any other nuts) 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened) 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds 1 tsp cinnamon pinch Himalayan Pink Salt Mix all of the above ingredients and store in a jar in the fridge. When preparing your breakfast, measure out about 1/2 cup breakfast mixture. Place in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup milk of your choice and top up with 1/2 cup berries (or any other low sugar fruit), sprinkle with cinnamon. 15/6/2018 0 Comments Performance Boosting SaladThis salad is best eaten the night before a race and best paired up with some sort of carbohydrate, like brown pasta, quinoa, sweet potato or brown rice. Arugula and beetroot are nitrate-rich vegetables which help boost performance.
1 cup of boiled beetroot 1 cup of arugula, chopped 2 tbsp. crushed peanuts (also known to boost performance) 1 tbsp. cheese (feta, parmesan, other goat's cheese) Drizzle with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with some sea salt. 15/6/2018 0 Comments Moringa Avocado DipA very simple and easy spread recipe with moringa, which you’ll have done in less than 5 minutes.
