I don't have anything that I absolutely need to do today, but instead of doing nothing (and feeling lazy), I'm planning on going to the gym soon. Some people are fine to wake up and exercise on an empty stomach, but that really doesn't work for me. If I want to push hard, I need something healthy to get me going.
Springtime Yogurt Parfait
-1/2 cup greek yogurt
-1 orange, sliced
-1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
-2 tbsp ground flaxseed
-14 walnut halves
Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, and while it's an acquired taste, mixing it with the natural sweetness of fruit makes it yummy for anyone. Flaxseed is a great source of omega-3 fats and increases the protein a tiny bit in this recipe. The walnuts are also a great source of omega-3s. Being a vegetarian, I need to make sure I get those healthy fats (normally found in fish oil). The carbohydrates in the fruit will give me energy to workout hard at the gym too.
What do you like to eat before working out?
