Take a “day in the life of” look into what some of the coaches from Team Betty Rocker eat!
I don’t know if you’ve encountered these awesome ladies yet who teach in Rock Your Life and help me answer the hundreds of questions we get through our social media channels each day, but they are amazing!
I thought you might like to know what THEY eat (since they’re all trainers and coaches), so they each chose one of their favorite recipes to share with you – all Betty Rocker approved of course!
You’ll find new inspiration to nourish your body, support your workouts, and ideas for making new things if you’ve gotten stuck in a food rut (we’ve all been there!).
When put together, these recipes will give you a well balanced, nutrient dense day of eating. You certainly wouldn’t need to make/eat ALL Of these things in one day. I’d recommend making these recipes and trying them out in your own daily meals for a day, or mixing them in through the week.
Enjoy! And let us know what you’re making this week in the comments below.
