Reports about nutrition, sports nutrition and diets.
Lately we’ve made a big effort to try some new recipes here at the Stumble Dome. The theory is straightforward enough: cook better, eat better and maybe drop a few pounds. I thought I would share a few recipes this week along with some brief comments and links. These are easy to make and quick enough …
I had a serious case of the brown bag blues. So I decided to shake things up and explore some healthy options for lunch. This of course lead me to the Internet and a Google search for healthy lunch ideas. This website offered 35 quick and healthy low-calorie lunches. I picked five recipes prepared them, …
Welcome to February or as I like to call it the “do-over” month. You know how it works. In December, you tell yourself that come the New Year things will be different. You’re going to be more serious about workouts, eat a more nutritious diet, keep an up-to-date workout log, etc. Then you look at …
It’s time once more for my top 10 endurance sports lessons from last year. My 2014 race season began in March with the St. Paddy’s Day Dash & Bash, Greenville, SC, and ended in November with the Crooked Road 24 Hour Ultra, Rocky Mount, VA.

Wednesday: Spinach Smoothie with Mango and Lime Today we go tropical, putting some mango and fresh-squeezed lime juice in with spinach and grapes. I’m using Real Simple’s recipe for Collard Greens Smoothie With Mango and Lime and substituting spinach because I don’t have any collards. Again only 4 ingredients: 5 if you count water. Can you …
Tuesday: Kale Smoothie with Pineapple and Banana Again four ingredients and again the blender’s frozen drink setting easily transformed them into a drinkable beverage: 1/2 cup coconut milk, 2 cups stemmed and chopped kale, 1 1/2 cups chopped pineapple (about 1/4 medium pineapple), 1 ripe banana, chopped. This smoothie was quite a bit …

Your mission, should you choose to accept it will be to make and consume a green smoothie each day this week. Further after consuming it you will exercise in …
