Power up for spring training

Spring has sprung and if you are like most athletes you are planning your racing line up and putting your training plans in order. As you start ramping up your training you will also want to assess your current nutrition plan as it may be in need of a little “spring cleaning”. To help you jump start your fueling strategy I am including a recipe for a great breakfast full of muscle fueling carbohydrates, muscle repairing protein and antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and of course lots of good taste.

Boil water or milk/soy milk
Add: Rolled oats or instant oatmeal (1/2 cup dry or 1-2 packets instant)
Whey protein (1 svg)
Small scoop of dark chocolate baking cocoa ~1 Tbs
Ground flax ~1 Tbs
Blueberries ½ cup
Raisins – travel packet size or bananas

Enjoy before or after your workouts.
