The days are getting longer and the countdown to race season has officially started with less than 7 weeks to the Boston Marathon!
One key area of focus for our athletes is ensuring adequate protein intake throughout the day. We recommend a minimum of 1.6g/kg/day1 which equates to ~100g of protein for a 140lb female athlete. And while protein-packed smoothies are a great option for getting a solid dose of protein (and carbohydrates) after exercise, it’s important to ensure each meal has adequate protein which can be challenging without some planning!
That is why the March recipe pack is all about protein! The new recipe pack contains 7 days of high protein (>20g) breakfast, lunch & dinner options (a total of 21 recipes). Check out the Whipped Peanut Butter Yogurt Bowl and the Black Bean, Tofu and Cilantro Lime Salad! Download the new recipe pack on client page (login required) to get some fresh new meal plan ideas!
