Cauliflower Possibilities

Today, I will be providing you with many different ways on how to get more cauliflower into your diet!  It is very important to consume vegetables every day and cauliflower is a great option for many reasons. First, cauliflower is high in fiber, B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin K. Second, it can be cooked in many different ways!

Cauliflower can be cooked into a creamy soup.  The link below is to a vegan creamy curried cauliflower soup. Another way to consume cauliflower is by making cauliflower rice! This is a very easy process and tastes delicious. The link below is to a Mediterranean cauliflower rice recipe.  Cauliflower rice can be doctored up with any type of seasonings!

Another way prepare cauliflower is to make it into hummus.  Hummus is great with other veggies or crackers for dipping! This is a great way to get your veggie intake in for the day. The link below is to an amazing cauliflower hummus.  You can also roast cauliflower in the oven with a variety of different oils and seasonings. My personal favorite is to cover the cauliflower florets in bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and then roast them in the oven! The link below is to a roasted cauliflower with parmesan bread crumbs recipe.

Overall, cauliflower can be eaten many different ways, so it is important to try them all! You never know what you might like. If you are getting tired of eating it one way, try another for a while and just keep switching for something new. J

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress.
