Check out what our client has to say:

"I cannot thank the Endurance Edge team enough for helping me to qualify for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in the Marathon! I approached Chris at the Endurance Edge after experiencing electrolyte issues around mile 19 of the 2019 California International Marathon. In less than four weeks, I had an individualized hydration and fueling plan that I was CONFIDENT in. This made all the difference and resulted in an 8+ min PR, and Olympic Trails Qualifying time at the 2020 Houston Marathon. I highly recommend the Endurance Edge for your individualized hydration, fueling, and recovery plans! Thank you!"

There's something about summer produce! 🌞

So flavorful and FULL of nutrition. This summer, be sure to pick up these top 5 favorites: berries, cucumbers, leafy greens, cherries, and peas! 🍓🥒🥬🍒🌱

🍓 Berries: These little jewels are antioxidant powerhouses, perfect for boosting your immune system and keeping your skin glowing. Add them to your morning yogurt, oatmeal, or enjoy a refreshing berry smoothie. They're also great in salads for a sweet touch!

🥒 Cucumbers: Stay hydrated and refreshed with cucumbers this summer. They are low in calories but rich in vital nutrients like vitamin K and magnesium. Slice them up for a quick snack with hummus, toss them into a cold water jug for a subtle flavor, or mix into salads for a crisp texture.

🥬 Leafy Greens: From spinach to kale, these greens are loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like iron and calcium. Whip up a green smoothie, use them as a base for salads, or sauté them with garlic for a healthy side dish.

🍒 Cherries: Sweet or tart, cherries are rich in antioxidants and are great for your heart. They make a perfect snack, a flavorful topping for desserts, or a colorful addition to any fruit salad.

🌱 Peas: These sweet pods are high in protein and fiber, making them excellent for your digestive health. Mix peas into pasta dishes, add them to rice for a touch of sweetness, or blend them into a vibrant green pea soup.

🌞🎉 Summer is here, and it's the perfect time to weave some fun into healthy eating habits with the kids!

As school takes a break, let's make nutrition an exciting part of our summer days.

Here's how we can keep it playful and healthy! 🍇🥕

1️⃣ Get Them Involved - Plan meals together! Let the kids pick their favorite fruits and veggies during your next grocery run. It makes them feel involved and excited about what they eat! 📝🍎

2️⃣ Educational Shopping - Make grocery shopping a learning game. Let them help you find different produce and choose novel ingredients, turning a routine chore into an exciting outing! 🏷️🛍️

3️⃣ Keep snacks fun! Create snacks that are not only healthy but also fun to prepare and eat, making them perfect for engaging kids in nutritious eating habits during the summer!

4️⃣ Cooking Sessions - Cook simple, fun recipes together. Whether it’s smoothies, salads, or pizzas, they’re more likely to eat what they help make. Plus, it's a great bonding activity! 🥗👩‍🍳

5️⃣ Theme Nights - Shake things up with a night each week as a theme like "Tropical Tuesday" or "Mini-Food Monday." It’s a creative way to introduce new foods and keep dinner times interesting and educational! 🌴🍍

6️⃣ Homemade desserts: Dessert doesn't have to be assigned as a "treat". Try wholesome and homemade dessert ideas that everyone will love!

7️⃣ Balance is Key - Remember, it’s perfectly okay to indulge! Teaching kids that it's fine to enjoy pizza or ice cream. It helps them appreciate and understand that all foods fit. 🍕🍦

🥳 Just remember to keep It Fun! Always aim for fun, interactive ways to explore new tastes and textures together this summer. 🚀🌈

💬 We’d love to hear how you make healthy eating fun in your family! What are your go-to summer snacks? Any special tips or tricks? Share in the comments or tag us in your summer food adventures!

Who made it out to the Firecracker Ride last week? 🚴‍♀️
