This project has encouraged me to look up different recipes for every meal, not just dinner. I've found lots of new and healthier ways to make breakfast dishes, snacks, and lunches too. I have a list of meals that I want to cook and I'm still looking up more!
When I don't make a main dish, I look up new healthier ways to make snacks. I try something different every day before I leave for practice. They're all very simple but perfect for before a practice because you get enough energy to last through the workout. Some recipes that are protein enriched are good for after a workout too because protein builds muscle.
These are some different snacks I've made: whole grain toast with peanut butter with sliced bananas and granola mix on top; egg, ham, cheese sandwich; apple slices with peanut butter and granola mix; yogurt and fruit parfait; trail mix and berries.
Again, they're all very simple but to get the full benefit of a workout you have to eat the right foods before and afterwards.
