Work, family, friends, job, bills, sleep, training.. All of this in a day and I still need time to prepare healthy meals. It is alot to ask. I battle with good or convenient choices everyday. You had better believe 99% of convenient choices are terrible. So how do I get a balanced meal that supports my health as well as my athletic development? My answer is a blender! That's right, my "be on time vs. preparing a good meal" neutralizer.
Without getting into a discussion on the pro's and con's of whey protein including quality, let's just call the majority whey secondary protein. Primary sources of protein would be the obvious ocean caught fish, grass fed beef etc.. The blender just allows us to be resourceful and time efficient. Here is an idea:
2 Scoops Whey protein
1/2 cucumber
Handful of spinach
Fresh/Frozen berry (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry)
3-5 Fish Oil Caps or 1 tsp Liquid
Almond milk, rice milk or water
BLEND....and what do you get? A meal consisting of protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, a real balanced glycemic meal.
Don't let time be an excuse to skip meals or eat convenient choices when all it takes is a few ingredients and one push of a button.
