For Strength Training


Muscle Recovery Bowl



  • Grass-fed lean protein or tempeh (25g protein)

  • Sweet potato (complex carbohydrates)

  • Leafy greens (antioxidants)

  • Avocado (healthy fats)

  • Turmeric-ginger sauce (anti-inflammatory)


This balanced meal provides the protein needed for muscle repair with moderate carbohydrates and anti-inflammatory compounds.


For Endurance Training


Endurance Refuel Plate



  • Wild salmon or lentils (20g protein)

  • Ancient grain blend (higher carbohydrate content)

  • Roasted colorful vegetables (antioxidants)

  • Beet and cherry sauce (natural nitrates and anti-inflammatory compounds)


This higher-carbohydrate option helps endurance athletes replenish significant glycogen depletion.


For High-Intensity Interval Training


HIIT Recovery Smoothie Bowl



  • Whey or plant protein blend (20g protein)

  • Banana and berries (fast and slow carbs)

  • Spinach (micronutrients)

  • Ginger (anti-inflammatory)

  • Coconut water (electrolytes)


This easily digestible option provides quick nutrition when appetite might be suppressed after intense exercise.
