As you already know I’m crazy about veggies! I’m about 90% Vegan with an occasional raw-sushi breakdown. Recently I was given the Book THRIVE<\/strong> by Brendan Brazier<\/em> (professional Ironman Triathlete). It’s “the vegan nutrition guide to optimal performance in sports and life.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Brendan is the creator of the VEGA<\/strong> health products (yumm).\u00a0All I can say is it’s great info- great recipes! I’m learning much daily, which I love. He’s very generous with all he has learned, even giving out his recipes for VEGA’s drink mixes… so you can create your own at home.<\/p>\n

I’m no triathlete, but I do exercise and I want the most out of my body and food. I measure on the lowest rung of \u00a0Thrive’s workout scale -based on length of time and difficulty, but I can truly say I feel more energy and am recovering faster from working out with his suggestions. It’s just a little something for m<\/em>e and I feel good about it.<\/p>\n

10 things I’ve learned from THRIVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Lower the ph<\/strong> in your body through foods – fight potential cancer. (Lists of “highly alkaline-forming food” are available on line.)<\/li>\n
  2. Seed are amazing<\/strong>. Each offers a different benefit not to mention Amino Acids. Like: Flax<\/em>-potassium, sesame<\/em> -calcium, pumpki<\/em>n -iron, sunflower <\/em>-22% protein,\u00a0hemp<\/em> -35% protein.<\/li>\n
  3. Almost all seeds and beans can be sprouted<\/strong>\u00a0-as in a jar with water rinsed over them daily- after they have soaked over-night. Great on digestion of their nutrients.<\/li>\n
  4. Appetite diminishes as the quality of food improves<\/strong>. This is so true it’s creepy. Eating nutritionally well, turns into eating less!<\/li>\n
  5. If I have a fruit smoothie with pea protein powder<\/strong>, a BIG salad<\/strong>, a homemade energy bar<\/strong> and a couple of “fuel bites”<\/strong>\u00a0daily<\/em> -I’m doing well.<\/li>\n
  6. A small\u00a0pre-workout\u00a0drink<\/strong>\u00a0made in the blender (fruit, water, sea salt) and post work-out drink<\/strong>\u00a0(fruit, dates, water, protein, good fat) really do help with\u00a0recovery<\/strong> from exercise, keeping adrenal glands from becoming over-taxed.<\/li>\n
  7. Flax seeds<\/strong> need to be purchased whole and ground at home in a coffee grinder\/stored in the fridge. Add a little to everything.<\/li>\n
  8. Soaking nuts<\/strong> (pumpkin & sesame seeds too) makes them even more nutritious.<\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0Fuel bites<\/strong>\u00a0are yummy and keep low blood-sugar away. I’ve been making these for years: 1\/2 C. almond butter, 1 C. oats, 2T: flax, sesame & sunflower seeds, agave (sweetener) and chopped dates (dried fruit), 1 T. coconut oil. Roll into balls- store in fridge.<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0Energy bars<\/strong>\u00a0(by Ann Machel) are: 2 cups of oats, 1 cup amaranth flour, 2 Tbl. flax and chia (ground), 1 tsp. cinnamon, MIX<\/em> with: 1\/2 cup Agave or honey,\u00a01\/2 C. almond butter, 2 Tbl. coconut oil, 2 cups total various raw<\/em> nuts, seeds, dried fruit! Press into a sprayed pan. 350 for 15 mins. CUT<\/em> into bars. Store in fridge<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ok, the last 2 are variations of Mr. Brazier’s recipes. His are similar. It’s all good stuff and since you’re one of a kind<\/em>, why not eat something healthy?<\/p>\n
