Spring Shape-Up for your Nutrition!

I have a chunk of this most mornings for breakfast / pre workout. I find it sits well 1-2 hours out from exercise and leaves me less “full” than a large smoothie, especially pre run. Get creative with your veggies. Canned pumpkin works well instead of zucchini too. Cinnamon helps balance blood sugar. Turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties. Chia seeds / hemp seeds and walnuts have some omega-3 fatty acids. Oats are a great soluble fibre to help pull cholesterol out of the body and add bulk to the stool.
If you are vegan use egg substitute that helps with binding and rising such as: (per egg–one tablespoon ground flaxseeds with three tablespoons water) and wait for mix to form a slight gel and apple sauce (1/4 cup of of apple sauce with 1/2 a teaspoon baking soda mixed in to compensate for the thick consistency)
