Thrive Forward: Intro to The Guiding Principles of Sport Nutrition

April 3, 2013 By Kasey 4 Comments

Hey all! Happy Wednesday! I wanted to bring to your attention that THRIVE FORWARD is launching a Sports Edition! I personally get a ton of questions about how to properly FUEL our bodies while training & eating plant based. Brendan Brazier & VEGA do an amazing job of explaining all of your questions while teaching you how to THRIVE on a plant based diet – especially while working out! Questions such as, “Where will I get my protein?” & “Will I be taking in enough calories?” will be answered along with tons of recipes & tips along the way. The Sport Editions … [Read more...]

Being a student with CrossFit Open WOD 13.3

March 28, 2013 By Kasey 3 Comments

Hi all! Hopefully you were able to turn some fears into positive thoughts yesterday! It’s something I plan to work on daily. Another thing I work on daily…eating a Base of kale, red onion, sweet potato, roasted brussels, sauerkraut & LIMA BEANS! Later topped with Creamy Tahini Nooch sauce. When I was little I used to hate Lime Beans, for no reason, but now I adore them! Did you know that 1 cup packs 15g of protein? I’m going to need that to take on WOD 13.4 tonight! If you missed any of my other Open WOD Recaps, check them out below! [CrossFit Open WOD … [Read more...]

Black Eyed Pea FalafelCakes w/ Lucky Shamrock Sauce.

March 15, 2013 By Kasey 9 Comments

Good morning everyone! It’s almost St. Patty’s day weekend & it’s Friday! I have to admit, my Thursday went flying by. I had one of those mornings where I didn’t hear my alarm at all. A usual wake up call at 8am turned into a 10am wake up call. As I woke up, slowly, I laid in bed & thought to myself, “I feel so refreshed…and it’s really bright outside?? There is no way it is before 8am.” I proceed to look over & see my phone lighting up and a big 10:00am flashed in my face. At first I panicked & thought that I had my 10:30am client coming over before … [Read more...]
