When you don't want dinner to go straight to your butt, Natalie's Big Ass Salad packs the nutrients you need to recover and perform without the extra you don't. This recipe comes from our Social Media Director, Natalie Starr.
We've posted a few Beta Red recipes, but this one from Erin Weber is our new favorite. The addition of protein makes it a great post-workout recovery meal after a strenuous workout. The combination of beet juice, amino acids, and protein make it great following cycling, triathlon, trail running, mountain biking, or whatever other training you prefer.
It’s a not-so-well-kept secret in endurance sports that more and more elite athletes are loading up on nitrate-rich foods like spinach and beets to improve performance. We take a look at some of the research behind this, and give a simple and tasty recipe to get you started on improving performance through better nutrition.
This is a great little recipe for an easy meal any time of day. It’s full of macro + micro nutrients and tastes pretty darn amazing. It’s great as is or rolled into a tortilla and frozen for burritos on the fly.
We're looking forward to trying Heidi Coulter's Beta Red Apple Yum with Greek yogurt (for protein) as a post-workout refueling treat. This recipe was submitted to our How Did You Make That? Contest.
