Part 2: Carmen Small's favourite recovery recipes


After yesterday's recipe, the second meal I'd like to share is one I would eat when I am trying to recover from a hard training day or getting ready for another hard training day.

Key - you need to replace the calories that you spent during the workout or are going to be burning. It's important to have a well balanced meal but most importantly have enough carbohydrates that you can have energy for the next day or so your body can rebuild.  

Meat - Really any meat works, my favorite is salmon but I know not everyone likes fish so you can substitute this with any meat. Grilled meat is always a go to because it's easy and there is little clean up. You can marinate your meat to add a little kick to it. 

Green Beans - Boil green beans until just tender (don't over cook), run them under cold water and set aside. Cut up fennel and some kind of onion (green, shallots, red, etc...) add as much as you like with either of these depending on how much you like them. Toast walnuts in pan (let cool) while you are cooking your green beans.

Prepare dressing in bowl or mason jar; 1tbs spicy mustard, 2tbs apple cider vinegar, 3tbs olive oil, salt, pepper. In large bowel mix all in ingredients together except for walnuts. Add walnuts and goat cheese on top after you mixed.      

Sweet Potatoes - I like to cut up the sweet potatoes into small cubes about 1 - 1/2 inch and roast in the oven at 400 F.  You can make these any way you want depending on how you feel. Drizzle some olive oil and then add seasoning. Italian seasoning mix, "spicy" mix (paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt), coconut oil and salt and pepper. Get creative because you can't really mess this one up.  

This third meal is my husband's favorite, he can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and/or dessert. It's simple and can be prepared before hand for a quick and easy meal.  

Swiss Muesli:
Soak oats over night - I like the thick cut rolled oat -
In large bowl, add soaked oats, nuts, dried fruit, shaved or diced apple and/or pear, coconut flakes (non sweetened), cinnamon, plain yogurt, honey to taste. Mix well and enjoy.
