NUTRITION FOR RECREATIONAL ATHLETES

We understand the importance of nutrition for both athletes and recreational enthusiasts. Sufficient intake of nutrients is crucial for providing enough energy during training, muscle growth, and ensuring quality recovery.

It is recommended to have a slightly higher intake of carbohydrates, but also to choose quality sources of this nutrient, namely complex carbohydrates.

A diet rich in such carbohydrates will provide enough energy for the chosen activity while avoiding sudden spikes in blood sugar.

Whole grain cereal flakes are an ideal choice because they are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, while also providing satiety for a longer period of time.

Therefore, the recommendation for a meal before/after training would be oatmeal with a source of protein (Greek yogurt or protein powder, for example), a source of fat (nuts), and fresh fruit for an additional source of vitamins and minerals.

If you’re looking for an even more interesting option, pancakes made from oat flakes could be the perfect choice!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

– 30g finely ground FUN&FIT oat flakes
– 2 medium-sized eggs
– a bit of plant-based milk
– cinnamon or vanilla extract
– a large banana

Mix all the ingredients in a blender and cook on low heat in a covered frying pan.

For a nutritious filling, choose Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and honey—it will be an excellent choice! 🍓
