During one of the camps I made the athletes some smoothies. I brought them to camp and had them try them. Most of them enjoyed them very much. They were a little surprised when I told them I also put spinach in them, they actually didn't seem to mind. Here is the recipe for the smoothie. Feel free to add, replace or take out any of the ingredients. This will make 2 servings.

'The Speed and Agility Smoothie'

1/2 Apple

1/2 Banana

1/2 cup of blueberries

4 strawberries

1/2 cup of frozen crushed pineapple

6-8 ounces of milk (I used Almond milk but low fat organic milk is just as good)

Big handful of spinach

A squirt of Agave syrup

Sometimes I add Greek yoghurt and flaxseed as well. 

I told the campers of other meals that I regularly eat. One of my favourite breakfast or afternoon snacks is a parfait. Here is my favourite for 1 serving.

'Power Parfait'

1 cup of Organic Granola (the less sugar the better)

Squirt of Agave syrup

1 tablespoon of flaxseed

3 tablespoons of 2% Greek Yoghurt

1/2 a banana

1/4 cup of blueberries

4 Strawberries

I also mentioned that most days I will have a Big salad. This will make 1 serving.

'Salad for Speed'

A few cups of organic baby spinach leaves

A few cups of romaine lettuce

1 tablespoon of crushed almonds

1 tablespoon of gorgonzola cheese

1/4 cup of blueberries

4 strawberries

1/4 cup of mandarin oranges

Dressing:

Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

1/2 a lemon squirted over the salad

Sprinkle of sea salt

Sometimes I will add grilled organic chicken, shrimp or even salmon.
