Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow.: Quick-Fix Recipes for Hangry Athletes

Product Information

Be sure to eat greens with olive oil or other healthy fat to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins. Cooking hearty greens makes them more digestible so toss them into soups.

Although the content is decent, reading through it was agonizing. The whole book sounds like an overly fake infomercial, replete with excessive adjectives and hip buzzwords. Here's an excerpt from the first recipe for a coconut-kale smoothie: Join us for our next and final Spring cooking class!(Live via Zoom) What’s in Season during Spring/Summer? As I was making these, I didn’t think I’d like them much. I was wrong. They’re just the right balance of sweet and savory. I paired one with a salad (the DIY Grain Salad from Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow) for dinner and it was the perfect complement to the meal. I’d add a few more raspberries next time. I also didn’t have corn flour so I used cornmeal for a true cornbread texture and it worked perfectly. — Erin Yam Spice Superhero Muffins*almond flour – to keep this recipe gluten-free we’re using almond flour. Use finely ground almond flour instead of almond meal. Similar to turmeric, ginger is rich in anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing compounds. One study showed that supplementing with ginger extract significantly reduced the knee pain in people with osteoarthritis. Amazing! One of the books strengths is the Treat chapter. These are recipes that satisfy the sweet tooth using fruits, dark chocolate, oatmeal and more.

A fun, different way to use pesto, which I often relegate to pasta or stirring into soups. If you want something savory that leans a little Italian, this is the one. —Jessica Everything Bagel Superhero Muffins* In a large jar with a lid, shake together 1/2 C. olive oil, 1/3 C. lemon juice, 2-3 cloves minced garlic, 2 tsp. miso paste, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Use a fork to whisk the miso in the dressing, if necessary. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, which have serious anti-inflammatory effects in the body. It contains a specific potent substance called oleocanthal, which is comparable to ibuprofen for inflammation reduction . I really like the concept of this book - nourishing recipes for athletes. I'm not a foodie, but I want my food to be healthy, nourishing and tasty.

Superhero Muffins

Varies: date night, takeout, or a fancier meal shared with friends. Or after a ski day with the kids: Breakfast for Dinner with recipes from #RiseandRun. When the weather is bad and we are in the mood for a PJ party, you can’t really beat waffles (and breakfast sausage or bacon…don’t judge!) for dinner! My kids also frequently request Meme’s Crepes, the perfect dinner for movie night. Finish off the week with a simple dinner of Spring Asparagus Soup with baguette for dunking and leftover burger. If you have greens leftover, you could also make a simple side salad. Best enjoyed outside in the sunshine!

Not a personal favorite. I had to make with pears instead of peaches due to the season, and I felt like the chopped fruit didn’t lend itself well to a cohesive texture or flavor profile. I also couldn’t make out much cardamom, so highly recommend doubling if you make these. —Jessica Jessica’s Favorite: Spelt Blueberry Yogurt Basic Apple Cider Vinaigrette: Combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper in a glass jar with a lid.

What’s in Season during Spring/Summer?

As the only true vegan recipe, the red velvet muffins topped my list of favorites. Though a bit dense, they were truly filling for their size. And despite the earthiness of the beets—the source of the red color—occasionally coming through, the warmth of chocolate overwhelms all else. —Malissa A refreshing little tropical bite. You really need to be a coconut lover to enjoy these (I am)—they’re very coconut-y. As noted in the recipe, they’re also very delicate (crumbly). I ate mine with a fork. — Erin Raspberry-Zucchini Cornbread Superhero Muffins Before diving into the plant-based recipes, Hansard offers up her story and philosophy on wellness and fulfillment, and teaches readers how to embrace a healthy lifestyle. A “find your passion” worksheet gives readers a chance to make their own discoveries. More than anything, though, Hansard stresses progress over perfection. We repurpose leftovers in creative ways frequently. Usually that means some type of bowl topped with an assortment of whatever needs to be finished. To mix things up, I’ll add a refreshing salad and sweet potato fries (my 5 year old’s favorite side dish). The Southwest Salad is one of our favorite ways to celebrate the seasons with lots of leafy greens and seasonal veggies. We love salads that are hearty enough to enjoy as a meal and this one definitely fits the bill. Top it with your protein of choice. You’ll also get a big dose of anti-inflammatory fats from the avocado and dressing.
