Chances are you are sitting at home during this bizarre period and nothing is harder to keep fit then! Or at least making you ‘feel fit’ feel' while sitting a lot and continuing to turn your butt around in the same few square metres. Hopefully you're all already enjoying our online lessons to clear your head, relax, for fun and to keep up a bit of strength and fitness tracking :-). Besides exercise, nutrition is of course key to feeling fit and healthy! Therefore, here we give you some great options to snack, breakfast, lunch, whatever you want after your class!
The Shake
Widely known and a standard post-workout snack is of course, a protein shake. But you can vary this endlessly! Do you have a blender at home? Then mix your protein powder not only with water or milk, but also with with, for example, frozen fruit, a banana, fresh spinach, a spoonful of peanut butter peanut butter, a scoop of oatmeal or a cold shot of espresso. Also, cottage cheese is just just as good a source of protein, so don't like the taste of protein powder? Substitute it for cottage cheese. That way you keep it fun and also incredibly tasty! Two of my own favourites are: coconut protein powder, frozen mango, oatmeal, goji berries & cottage cheese, a banana, blueberries, strawberries and spinach. Shake on it loose and share your yummy recipes!
Egg sandwich
Yes really, so simple; an egg sandwich. Of course a wholemeal sandwich, the slow carbs in wholemeal bread ensure a satiated feeling and won't cause a spike in your blood sugar. A nice boiled egg for the proteins, some raw vegetables for flavour and a bite and possibly a piece of avocado or slice of smoked salmon for the good fats, some salt and pepper and enjoy!
Oatmeal
I met my favourite oatmeal recipe at yoga retreat in Italy and from then on I was sold. It has quite a few ingredients, but then you have something!
Chop a piece of fresh ginger as small as possible, dice half an apple and put this together with 40 grams of oatmeal and a dash of almond milk in a pan. Sprinkle turmeric and cinnamon on top. Keep stirring until the apple is nice and soft and it has turned into a bit of a porridge. become. Then it can go into your bowl, add a dash of alpro yoghurt and finish it with fresh figs, raspberries, kiwi or blueberries et voila!
Pancakes
Who doesn't get happy with pancakes? Mix oatmeal with an egg, dash of (almond) milk and some cinnamon and bake! Nowadays you also have ground oatmeal for real baking, which is even easier (although you can of course do it yourself in a blender). Add a little agave syrup on top with some cottage cheese and fresh fruit and you have the ideal breakfast for the whole family!
Now should you be looking for just a snack and not a whole meal then don't make it too hard on yourself! Anything that is fresh and does not contain too many sugars or fats is often a very good option. After exercise it is important to get protein to help your muscles recover and carbohydrates to replenish your energy levels. A boiled egg, a peanut butter sandwich, raw vegetables with a bit of feta, fruit, a granola bar (low in sugars), baking your own banana bread, small handful of nuts etc.
