Breakfast Egg muffins with Ground Beef & Kale

Rushed for time in the morning? Would you like to eat a good breakfast but just can't make the time. Here is the solution. Be sure to use grass fed ground beef or Bison only, none of this factory farmed meat. You can also substitute fresh spinach for the kale if you like. This recipe takes about 35 minutes to make and that includes the baking. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

INGREDIENTS:
1LB 91% Lean Grass Fed Ground Beef
6 whole eggs
3 Tbsp Chia Seeds (I use Navitas Naturals ground Chia)
1/2-1 Medium yellow Onion
1 Red Bell Pepper chopped
5 cups Fresh Kale
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Sea Salt
1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (feel free to add more if you like spice)
1/2-1 Tsp Ground Cumin

Directions:
1-Place ground beef in a large skillet. Add all spices and mix. Turn heat on medium-high and brown the beef but leave it pink in the middle (you're about to bake it so don't worry). Once cooked drain and set aside
2-Place Kale in the skillet and saute' until wilted. Once finished put in a food processor or large blender
3- Put eggs, bell pepper, onion, and chia seeds in the food processor/blender with the kale. Pulse on low for a few seconds, just enough to finely chop the veggies.
4- With a Wooden spoon, stir in the ground beef
5- Grease a muffin tin with ghee butter or coconut oil and pour in the mixture
6- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

1 serving unsweetened tart cherry juice
2Tbsp Navitas Naturals Raw Cacao powder
2Tbsp Navitas Naturals Ground Chia Seeds
1 banana
1 scoop MRM all-natural whey protein or Vega Sport protein
1/2 cup ice

Blend all ingredients on high for 45 seconds and drink it up!!

Nutrition and Recovery Strategies for a High Volume Week Part 1

Nutrition and Recovery Strategies for a High Volume Week Part 1:

Congratulations! You have signed up for an Ironman or Ironman 70.3. In my opinion, one of the top priorities in your training schedule is getting to a camp. Preferably a camp that is located at the particular event you are signed up for. If the race you have signed up for doesn’t have a qualified coaching camp to accompany it, just get your butt to a camp with qualified coaches. The information and fitness you will gain is invaluable. As a full time triathlon coach and sports nutritionist my job is to get my clients ready not just physically, but also nutritionally, for the load they will endure during their high volume training week at whichever camp I have designated for them to attend.
Most triathlon training camps are 3 ½ -4 days in length. During that time you will collectively swim, bike and run more than 20hrs. For the average triathlete, that is a huge volume of training compressed into 4 days. With that in mind, your nutrition leading up to, and during the camp, are of utmost importance in order to assure you recover properly from each days training.
