For my birthday last year my kind and loving athletes got me "The Feed Zone Cookbook" by Allen Lim and Biju Thomas. I LOVE it, full stop! (And them for graciously giving me such a rad present!)
I wanted this cookbook because it provided nutritious ideas "for athletes" specifically. They provide yummy ideas for "portable food" that you can take with you on a ride, like "Cashew and Bacon Rice Cakes".... Right? OMG let me tell you how your taste buds will thank you when you add bacon to your next ride :)
Anyway, they also inspire great ideas for every meal and even provide quick "Apres" mini meals for after a ride or hard training sesh.
These guys are the whole package- They're smart, well-educated dudes, they ride, they know delicious food and they deliver it with a delightful reminder that mindfulness plays a big role in what we feed our bodies.
Yup, I'm a lover of this cookbook, and I'm going to share a quick and easy breakfast recipe with you... But you should go buy this book for yourself because I won't be spilling all the beans here ;)
Quinoa and Berries:
1 cup Quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 cup water
1 cup milk
dash of salt
1-2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries
chopped walnuts or pecans
Combine water, milk, quinoa and salt in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Turn the heat down and let simmer until most of the liquid is evaporated (I like mine a little more runny so I cook for less time).
Add honey while it's still in the pot and let sit a few minutes with the lid on
Top with berries and nuts of your choice. This is also delicious topped with yoghurt and cinnamon!
Enjoy
