Fall is the season of slow food, roots, warmth and colour. In this video, I show you what a seasonal meal prep looks like in my kitchen. Usually, I meal prep every Sunday for the week ahead. I love feeling and tasting the seasons pass and check out whats new on the local markets. In all my meal preps I truy to include lots of healthy complex carbs (great for long workouts), protein, fiber and the least amount of processed foods as possible. In this one, we’ll cook with these seasonal ingredients: pumpkin, sweet potato, beetroot, chickpeas, lentils, leek, chicken, and fish: foods that keep you energized, strong, and resilient through long runs, lifts, and recovery days. Beetroots are one of the best natural performance boosters out there. They dilate your blood vessels and increase your cardiovascular efficiency. Sweet potatoes are the endurance athlete of the vegetable world. Lots of complex carbs that will fuel the longest of long runs. The rest is good stuff too... My mum always told me to eat lots of different things to be healthy and resilient, and I want to represent that here. No vegan, carnivore, keto or any of that BS.
