Great quick and easy vegan meals for before and after your workout.
Preworkout Meal: Banana Blueberry Oatmeal and a Buttered Bagel
Ingredients
3/4 c rolled oats
A little more than 1 c of almond milk (I use unsweetened vanilla)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 ripe banana
1 tbsp maple syrup
Directions:
Throw everything in a pot on medium flame. Stir for 5 minutes. Keep stirring so the oats don’t get stuck on the bottom.
Top with whatever fruit you’d like!
Postworkout Meal: Hearty Winter Kale Salad
Ingredients:
Kale
1 potato
85g stringbeans
Scallions
Homemade Quinoa Salad
Lemon
Salt and Pepper
Cumin
Extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Wash potato and cut into even cubes. Wash string beans and cut off ends. Chop in halves. Throw potatoes and string beans in a bowl and season with oil and spices.
3. Place potatoes and string beans flat on a lined cookie sheet and bake for 15 mins. Flip over then put back in over for another 5 minutes.
4. Wash kale. Add juice from an entire lemon, salt, and pepper and massage. Set aside in fridge.
5. Chop scallions.
6. Once veggies are done baking, place all in a bowl together. You can add regular cooked quinoa, I happened to have a big batch of quinoa salad. Enjoy!
