Charlotte Prouse just overhauled our entire grocery list

This past weekend, Canadian Charlotte Prouse certainly gained more of a fan following. The runner, who competes for the University of New Mexico and hails from London, Ont., was the top Canadian woman to cross the finish line at the NCAA Division One Cross-Country Championships. She ran 19:49 for 6K and helped her team to first place overall. Individually, she placed 12th.

It’s no secret that Prouse treats her body right in order to run that fast. She actually has a separate Instagram, Fuelling Foodie, where she posts her best breakfasts, lunches and dinners. What exactly is this woman eating to have become such a champ? Well… we browsed through and picked some of our favourites. For the Canadian Running twist, find similar recipes in each of the below descriptions.

Lime pomegranate veggie bowl

Throwing your favourite fresh produce into a bowl is one of the best ways to load up on much-needed vitamins in the winter. Our suggestions of healthy and yummy Buddha bowls are here. Long live the macro bowl. 

 

First time @sprouts today and stocked up on all the goodies! Sprayed my kale with liquid aminos for the first time, roasted beets, pomegranate, sprouts, carrot, cucumber, strawberries and tried out some beet cabbage kimchi! Topped it off with some garlic salt and lime.

Zucchini Asian noodle dish

Who isn’t a fan of sesame-flavoured dishes? Sesame noodle salads are a lunch option similar to this one. We can feel a batch-cooking session coming on…  

 

Zucchini Asian Noodle Dish for dinner! Sautéed up some carrots, capsicum and cabbage until tender with some @bragglivefoods liquid aminos. Once tender added in zucchini noodles and stirred in my homemade peanut sauce (used powdered peanut butter, liquid aminos, ground ginger, and a dash of gluten free hoisin) and then topped with Sesame Seeds for aesthetic ?

Smoothie bowl

Looking for creative ways to shake up that plain ol’ breakfast of yours? Try this earl grey tea infused oatmeal topped with fresh fruit. Or just copy Charlotte’s by blending a smoothie and adding your favourite cereal and toppings. This is the stuff true cross-country runners are fuelling on… apparently. 

 

Morning Smoothie Bowl in my @coconutbowls — I have been freezing ziplock bags with blends of bowls to easily toss into the blender, used my banana/kiwi/strawberry/blueberry bag today and topped it with a fresh Ontario Peach, chia seeds and some Qia cereal ??
