depending on your tastes, you can absolutely

still add some maple syrup and/or banana while

still keeping it relatively lower carbohydrate. i

love the addition of these, as they really boost

the flavour and texture even more.

as we chatted about in our article, sleeping

low can be an effective adaptation strategy

after some training sessions. if you are after

something to nourish and satisfy post-session -

this has to be your choice! it is just so easy!

enjoy!

t

his is our go-to breakfast option

as we run out the door to work on a

lower training day. it is filled with

a load of good stuff but doesn’t hit

you with a big carbohydrate load when your

muscles don’t need it. the best thing about

this is that it is super quick and cheap to make

• you just need a powerful blender of some
  description to help you out.

the coconut milk is so tasty in this, and the

combination of fats and proteins make it

extremely satisfying. so much so, you will

find that this can keep you going throughout

most of the morning. We also love adding

baby spinach. adding greens to smoothies

is a great way to sneak in a veggie serve

without actually noticing it. the flavours

of everything else in the smoothie disguise

the taste perfectly! the blueberries then

pack a beautiful, immune system boosting,

antioxidant punch for an all-round smoothie

option that ticks all the boxes.
