I am in no way a recipe creator coming up with new and original meals. In fact, most of the meals I put together are just various adaptations of the fantastic recipes created in some of the cookbooks listed in this section. What I can offer are some great healthy meal basics and suggestions to fuel your running adventures. These are great options for both on and off season to keep you healthy, feeling your best and performing optimally.

• Overnight Oats are quick, taste amazing and cheap. You can make a load of varieties with spices or fruit add ins and experiment with different protein powders. Make a couple batches ahead of time and you’re good to go for days. **Pro tip** If you add extra liquid it makes them “drinkable” on the go.
• Batch Prep everything you can. I like to cook batches of all the essentials ahead of time: Protein, Carbs and Veggies. All of these items freeze well too, so you can pull them out in the morning, or add them frozen to cooked and reheated dishes.
• Experiment with new flavors and you can really zhuzh up otherwise boring grilled chicken with a host of spice options on the market. Still lost- reach out and I’ll provide you a list of some of my favs 😉 (sauces can help as well).
• Bowls are my all time go too meal, and they are easy to create with pre prepped ingredients. you can toss everything but the kitchen sink into a beautiful well rounded bowl.

Tried and true favorites for pre-run, intra-run and staying hydrated all the time.

• Graham Crackers are a favorite for pre-run fuel. You can literally eat them moments before heading out the door with no GI upset.
• Gels Experiment with what works best for you but Maurten are my absolute favorite. I like that they are flavorless and the consistency is more like Jell-o than a gel.
• Pretzels are by far one of my carb loading essentials leading up to a Marathon. They are a great source of carbs and salt.
• Nuun is a great everyday option to help keep you hydrated and add a little interest to your water. There are a TON of flavor options but Stawberry lemonade has to be my favorite.
• LMNT (pronounced element) is a MUST for hot sweaty summer runs and travel. Some may say it’s too salty but I’ve found that if I add it to my large 32 oz water bottle is just perfect. I really love all the favors but, I’d have to say grapefruit is definitely at the top of the list.
