Every athlete needs a boost; this smoothie formula<\/a> will help you balance and customize your smoothie based on what you like. Or, try an energy bar! Processed-sugar-filled, store-bought bars can be an athlete no-no. Make your own, like these delicious carob strawberry energy bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Athlete Fuel: Pasta and Pizza<\/h2>\n

Yes, when you move as much as an athlete, you can eat healthy pasta and pizza, too!\u00a0 Try this delicious gnocchi <\/a>recipe, or this yummy spinach and eggplant lasagna<\/a>, both healthy enough for any athlete! Your vegetarian Italian\u00a0feast fit for an athlete continues with one of these amazing pizzas: grilled veggie<\/a> or classic Margherita<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Athlete Fuel: Soups, Salads and Sandwiches<\/h2>\n

Every athlete craves classic comfort foods. Start off with soup, like Thai Lemongrass<\/a> or Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea<\/a>! If you want something really different, check out the recipe for this Plantain and Pinto Stew<\/a>! An athlete loves greens, so try the Xagave Breakfast Salad<\/a> (mmm, strawberries!) or the Chickpea, Carrot and Parsley salad<\/a>.You can toss any of these athlete friendly salads<\/a> into a wrap for an on-the-go meal (an athlete has to keep moving!) or settle in for this Grilled Onion and Eggplant Sandwich<\/a> with a side of sweet potato fries!<\/p>\n
