Delish no-cook meal prep recipe

CrossFit Winter Park • February 12, 2025

We've got a really simple but delicious grab-and-go salad recipe for you today.

Meal prep plays a big role in sticking to your nutrition game plan, and this recipe will help make your life a lot easier AND stay on track with your goals.

It's perfect for bringing to work and you can customize it based on your taste and what veggies you have on hand. Feel free to experiment because you can't go wrong!

Also - you can amp up the protein quotient on this by adding your choice of protein just before serving. Try shrimp, chicken, cooked beef, black or pinto beans or Turkey.

Store this as-is, without the dressing or protein, otherwise, it could get soggy.

By Stephanie Nickitas • April 20, 2025
I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about the benefits of creatine for strength and fitness many times, and it turns out, there's even more benefits that go way beyond performance in the gym. This INTERVIEW with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Darren Candow “Creatine's scientifically backed benefits have expanded significantly, showing promise for bones, the brain and cognitive function, cardiometabolic and vascular health, the immune system and inflammation, and even children, pregnant women, and vegans/vegetarians. It's clear that this supplement has a broad range of potential benefits beyond athletic performance.” Dr. Candow has extensively explored creatine's effects across various populations and health conditions, contributing over 140 published scientific papers which have been pivotal in demonstrating creatine's safety and efficacy beyond the athletic domain and expanding our understanding of the therapeutic and health-promoting applications across age groups. Boost Brain Function Improve Sleep Recovery Support Mental Health Promote Healthy Aging Whether you're looking to feel sharper during long workdays, manage stress more effectively, or simply support healthy aging—creatine might be worth a closer look.
