Smoothies are a wonderful meal because they often can be adapted from what is available at the time. And I enjoy drinking them during busy times. Here’s one of my favorites. It’s delicious enough that my younger brother even forgot it was healthy. Ingredients 1 banana 1/2 to 1 cup frozen berries (raspberries are [...]

Egg Sandwich and The Omnivore’s List
One of my favorite foods is eggs. Eggs are so versatile, scrambled, over easy, or hardboiled there are tons of ways of eating them. Eggs are a great recovery food after running.

American or Processed

If you have bananas that you are looking to mash and make banana bread out of I would recommend mashing your bananas and measuring how many cups of mashed banana you have. Then find a serving [...]
