Would taste REALLY REALLY GOOD with a shot of espresso or instant coffee packet.

This recipe is designed for optimal and rapid glycogen replenishment, muscle protein synthesis, and rehydration.

If you struggle to meet your daily energy needs, throwing in a quarter cup of cashews is an easy way to get nutrient-dense calories in.

If you’re trying to recover as quickly as possible (like for a second workout of the day) from your workout, I recommend taking the cashews out as the fat from the cashews will slow down the absorption of the carbs.

60g carbs, 27g protein!!

Great for early morning workouts when you’re making your coffee and during low/moderate intensity workouts.

LOTS OF GINGER. These have a really nice ‘spicey heat’ to them.

I fed a 20 athlete (cyclist) team this potato salad and they finish the entire thing! Something close to 30lb of potatoes.

Super easy to make in large quantities and lasts in the fridge up to 3 days.

Unlike more traditional potato salads, this one is low in fat to make more room for carbs.

The flavor is bright and versatile, easy to make a variety meals with.

BONUS FOR FLAVOR: try adding chopped up pickles! Big fan of using pickles to bring brightness, electrolytes, flavor, and veggies to dishes.

Welcome, Jennifer! We are super excited to bring our newest practitioner, Jennifet Patricca, to the team!

Jennifer brings over 20 years of experience as a registered dietitian and endurance athlete.

Jennifer‘s philosophy when it comes to food and fueling drew me to her as she also has a strong passion for empowering athletes through helping them stay healthy, strong, and progress in their sport(s).

She has cultivated her practice to help athletes build healthy relationships with food and body while building a strong foundation of evidence based knowledge and habits.

We are excited to have you, Jennifer!

The FUC team is a what I consider a model group for the endurance athlete community. They have:
-supportive, caring, and effective leadership -train together
-crew for each other
-team captains
-smart and savvy coaches
-encouragement and support at every level of play
-a great team name :).

I have been truly inspired and blessed to work with Tom and Donnie’s athletes and can’t wait to follow them all along this season.

Debbie and I have worked together off and on for several years now. She has been such a treat to work with and watch her progression.

Debbie juggles a lot of commitments including training and competing at the national level in a variety of Track events, coaching in-person Track&Field for several teams and clubs, playing the French horn in an orchestra, volunteering, and other activities.

We worked together to come up with strategies to make sure she is fueling around her training to get the most out of it, support her health and longevity, and do it all around her busy schedule. Excited to follow her along in her future pursuits!

Dialing in macros is one of the first things we do when we’re working with athletes.

Making sure that we are getting the right balance of these nutrients at the right time is at the base of many sports nutrition recommendations for peak performance and health.

Typically we recommend athletes work with a qualified practitioner to calculate their personal macro needs based on a variety of factors including age, sport(s), underlying health conditions, etc.

We also have an E-course where we educate athletes on how to do this themselves! Check out our website for more details on our Sports Nutrition for Women E-course.

It has been such a pleasure working with Jess over these past few months. She had been struggling with nausea and low energy in the past several races which kept her from finishing some races and performing at her best in others.

First, we addressed her daily eating patterns to make her life easier while getting in the nutrients and energy she needs for high volume training.

Once we established a solid foundation, we started working on intrarace and intratraining fueling to develop a high performing race day fueling plan. Our plan worked quite well in her first race while working together with a PR and no nausea!

Not only is Jess an elite runner, she is also a lacrosse coach and mental performance coach! It’s always fun to work with practitioners in other areas of athletics and gain knowledge from each other. Check out Jess’s mental performance coaching page for more info on all of the great ways she can help athletes .

One of my favorite smoothie recipes.

This nutrient-dense and luscious smoothie has a great silky texture with not too much sweetness and as much ‘spice’ as you like.

I love baking a big batch of sweet potatoes at the beginning of the week (slow roasted for maximum flavor) and throwing them in smoothies, bowls, as snacks with a few spoonfuls Greek yogurt, and post-workout recovery.

This smoothie is specifically designed for post endurance exercise to replenish glycogen (carbs from sweet potato, banana, milk, greek yogurt, and maple syrup), support muscle protein synthesis (protein from greek yogurt and milk), and replace fluids (milk). Full recipe at sportsnutritionforwomen.com

Get all your boxes checked with this smoothie that’s easy on the tummy and you won’t want to put down.
