Here are some Ideas:

Pasta w/grilled chicken

Apple Slices & Turkey roll ups

Ground turkey or chicken & rice 

Fruit & Veggie Squeeze packs

Oatmeal w/bananas or berries 

Homemade Fruit smoothie

Finish Strong! 

After a Meet, It’s important to refuel with a healthy meal containing protein, carbs, & healthy Fat. 

Here are some ideas: 

Turkey sandwich w/avocado or hummus

Protein pancakes 

Chocolate milk

Grilled Chicken caesar salad

Nut butter & jelly sandwich 

Turkey or chicken burger
