I intention to refuel with a mixture of carbs and protein inside 30-60 minutes of operating. However after a HOT summer season run I normally crave lighter meals like fruits and veggies. So, I’ve created the Final Salad piled excessive with carbohydrates from roasted potatoes, protein from hen and a mixture of different veggies.
I intention for a 3:1 carbs to protein ratio after operating (*3 grams of carbohydrates for each 1 gram of protein). This recipe satisfies my cravings AND hits that mixture vital for restoration.
Potatoes are the MVP of this recipe as a result of they’re a top quality carbohydrate. Plus they’ve Vitamin C, potassium and fiber. And so they’re scrumptious (which isn’t technically a nutrient reality – however vital!).
Potatoes are gluten free, fats free, sodium free and vegan. And you probably have another particular dietary preferences or wants – be at liberty to change up the opposite substances on this salad to give you the results you want.
