Chocoalte Goji Berry Smoothie

Chocolate Goji Berry Smoothie - high antioxidant smoothie

I was reading a super fruits and nuts article on Food Matters blog earlier in the week and was inspired to get as many of the listed items into a smoothie as possible.  I had raw cacao, coconut water, maca root in my pantry, I just needed to get my hands on some goji berries.  I’ve seen them many times but have never bought them, other than the chocolate covered [...]

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

CBPB SMOOTHIE

I posted a Chocolate Banana PB smoothie a while back but I’ve been using different ingredients lately so I wanted to share!  It is important to use a frozen banana in this smoothie.  It really helps thicken the smoothie so it’s similar to a milkshake.  I’ve reduced the amount of banana to half of a large banana.  This helps to reduce the overall sugar, but it doesn’t hurt the texture [...]

Spring is almost here, and so are all my spring races.  I somehow managed to sign up for six races (four of them being half-marathons) in March and April.  It’s going to be a busy couple of months but I love running so I’m certainly not complaining!  I really enjoy chia seeds before a long run.  I’m not much of an eater before I run so chia seeds are perfect since [...]

Hot Chocolate Green Smoothie

Hot Chocolate Green Smoothie

Two things I love in the winter — sitting by the fireplace and hot chocolate.  I would add snow to the list but in Atlanta we don’t get snow, just ice.  I went out this morning with my running group for a 10 mile run and it was chilly and wet out.  All I could think about after finishing was getting home to make hot chocolate and sit by the [...]

Quinoa Protein Bars

Quinoa Protein Bars

Since Moms RUN This Town and Green Plate Rule have teamed up to host the Heart Healthy 5K / 10K / Half Marathon virtual race this month I thought it would be good to talk about foods that are important for fueling your body before and refueling your body after a strenuous workout or run.  I quickly learned while training for the marathon what foods I could and could not [...]
