Whether you’re an Olympian or just athletically inclined, fuel your physique with premium ingredients. Your engine won’t perform with dirty oil. So it is with cuisine; Keep it conscious… convenient, and keep it simple to make this transformation doable.
First, let’s define CONSCIOUS CUISINE. Free of toxic ingredients:
MSG [monosodium glutamate], GMOs [genetically modified organisms], bleached/refined flours, high fructose corn syrup, synthetic sweeteners [Aspartame/Phenylalanine, Sucralose, Saccharin], hormones, antibiotics, artificial colors/flavors, trans fats, hydrogenated fats.
Next, let’s break it down to categories:
CONSCIOUS CARBOHYDRATE covers a broad category. It is nutrient-dense, phyto-nutrient rich, potentially hydrating, fiber-rich, ideally, low glycemic. Sometimes fresh vegetables, fruits and green drinks are not readily available. These snacks ARE PORTABLE:
1. Breads Sprouted grains are protein-rich & nutrient dense. Keep refrigerated.
2. Breakfast cereals or bars must have 3 grams of fiber per serving, are often carbohydrate-rich [4 grams of carbohydrate = 1 teaspoon of sugar] so, balance with a protein-rich beverage.
3. Energy bars are higher in protein, nutrients and fibers than breakfast bars.
CONSCIOUS PROTEIN encompasses phytoplankton, legumes, hemp powders, omega 3 rich eggs, hormone free dairy, anti-biotic free poultry, fish, grass fed omega 3 rich beef
4. Hormone free dairy: milk, chocolate milk, cheese, yogurt
5. Legumes “soup to nuts”: peanuts/butter. Soups: lentil, black bean, pea
6. Protein Shakes: hemp protein/hemp nut butter, soy, whey, rice, egg white…
CONSCIOUS FAT includes dark chocolate, coconut oil, flax, hemp, extra virgin olive oil.
7. Organic coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids boosting metabolism. People enjoy it on toast.
8. Raw walnuts are rich in omega 3’s. Keep refrigerated. Combine with raisins.
9. Avocado is rich in fat-burning carnitine. Good for long distance events.
10. Dark chocolate releases endorphins, feel good hormones and is super nutrient rich.
