Great Recipes for Athletes
A friend and teammate recently launched the website CulinaryCompetitor.com, which I think will really appeal to a lot of women in this forum. I really believe in their real food approach to nutrition and happy to help them spread the word.
The recipes are seasonal and produce driven, and are all made in collaboration with a registered dietitian.
Hope you like it.
