This is a super simple drink to help replenish the electrolytes we all lose through our sweat. Electrolytes play a key role in muscle and nerve function, blood pressure and blood PH. Depletion of electrolytes can cause muscle weakness, cramping, and additional  medical issues.  The store bought brands can be expensive and are loaded withy extra sugar, preservatives, and food dyes.  This is an easy, cost effective, whole food beverage, to keep you feeling great throughout the summer and during your training sessions.

Recipe Notes

In the summer, I  usually have a cup in the morning before I head out for the day.  When I'm planning an outdoor workout, I'll have 1 cup, 30 minutes before I go, and 6-8 ozs. every hour of my workout (along with water).

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

September 29, 2014
IMG_7244

This is one of my favorite side dishes to make, year round.  Chickpeas are the star of the dish and offer plenty of plant based protein, fiber, and includes several B vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc.   In the summer, I try to add more fresh ingredients, and when they become less available, there are plenty of alternatives to use. The best part is, it gets better each day!

A savory, protein packed side dish that can be altered to suit a range of palates. So easy to make, and has so many simple variations, depending on what's in your kitchen. While I put in measurements, all of the ingredients are to taste, preference and availability.
