⬇️ Soup-er Simple! Chilly winter rides are best followed by homemade nutritious soups! Soups are the perfect way to thaw out and refuel your body quickly with loads of vitamins, minerals, and a balance of macro-nutrients. Instead of opening a can loaded with sodium and mushy vegetables, whip up your own version with whatever you've got on hand. No recipe required! Recipe: Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. Add well-chopped veggies like peppers, cabbage, potato, squash, cauliflower. Add tender veggies like broccolini or spinach last. Ratios? 4 cups of veggies for 4-6 servings of soup. Add rotisserie chicken or cooked turkey sausage for a protein punch. Use low sodium boxed broth, covering your meat and veggies by about an inch. Bump up the fiber by adding grains, beans, or pastas (1/2-1 cup). Simmer for 10-20 minutes to help the flavors expand. Add a pop of flavor with pesto, chili paste, lime or spices like cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and paprika. Slurp and enjoy! 🥘🥄🍲🥄🍛🥄 For more information about Remy or any of the coaches at Steelhead, visit www.steeleadcoaching.com Here’s some good nutrition advice from Best in the West partner Steelhead PDX nutrition coach Remy Maguire with a quick tasty recipe to follow🤠
Should you switch up your nutrition plan for the winter? Probably. But how? Coach’s favorite answer: It depends! Now is the perfect time to reflect on last season and consider what changes you want to make to improve your nutrition for next year. Do you need to lean out and lose body fat? While your training load is down, keep carbohydrates lower too and fill up on less calorie-dense but super-nutritious fruits and veggies. 🥦🍎🍌🍠🌽🍆🥒 Want to gain some muscle to be more powerful? Be sure to fuel up after your strength sessions with a protein-rich meal or snack. 💪💪💪💪 Weary of sticking to a strict diet while in-season? Take a break over the holidays and enjoy your favorite treats! 🎂🍪🍫🥧🍾 For a protein-rich, energy-dense breakfast good for any season, try this recipe!

As athletes we sometimes have to be in boogie mode outside of training and raceday. Don’t let nutrition hold you back! Consider preparing quinoa next time you’re in the kitchen. It is simple to make, super nutritious, and serves as a versatile food to mix/pair with other foods. (*quinoa can be found in many bulk sections..Market of Choice, WinCo, Fred Meyer, etc.) Over the next four weeks I’ll be throwing quinoa recipes your way. Here’s one for starters! Broccoli Quinoa Bowl What you need: 1 cup quinoa 2 cups vegetable stock 1 cup chopped up broccoli 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons olive oil Directions: 1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups vegetable stock to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. 2. While quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli, garlic, and maybe something else you’d like to mix in. Stir for a minute, then cover and steam over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. 3. Stir the vegetable mixture into the cooked quinoa. Finish with optional spices/toppings of your choice. That’s it! Enjoy & store the leftovers! Ramon Vámonos Coaching |
