Food Prep for Marathon Work Sessions

If you’re spending time cooking, do some food prep to sustain you when you can’t break your focus - make sure you have something nutritious to eat other than fast food/processed food

1. Guacamole deviled eggs

Take your hard boiled eggs & instead of mayo, etc. mix your yolks with guacamole & fill your egg whites

2. Date filled with nut butter topped with chocolate chips

Make these ahead of time & freeze them

3. Date filled with a pecan or walnut

4. Candied walnuts (addictive)

Combine 1 cup of walnuts & 1/4 cup of maple syrup in a skillet over medium heat. Use a spatula to stir until the syrup is reduced. Pour out onto a sheet of parchment paper, separate & wait until they harden. Top with sea salt. I recommend putting these in the freezer too.

5. Brown rice cakes or popcorn cakes

Topped with nut butter & sliced banana

6. Cannellini bean chipotle hummus

Combine in a food processor until smooth 1 can cannellini beans (more fiber than garbanzos), 2 tblsp tahini, 3 tblsp apple cider vinegar, 1-2 garlic cloves, & chipotle chili powder to taste

7. Raw veggies with guacamole or hummus

8. Red pepper half filled with hummus or guacamole & broccoli sprouts

9. Chicken salad, salmon salad, tuna salad

10. Sparkling water with lemon & lime juice

11. Parmesan basil crisps

Shredded Parmesan topped with basil. Bake until melted, let cool. Store in fridge.
