Welcome March- National Nutrition Month

Goodbye Free February, Hello March
Free February flew by! Community Meal Prep was a blast this month with so many new faces in the kitchen. Community Meal Prep will still be happening and will return to the low price of $20. You come home with 5 meals for only $20! You also get to connect with others in the FTR community and get the chance to cook a variety of foods. March is also National Nutrition Month so it's a great time to try a new healthy habit, such as meal prepping! I hope to continue to see so many of you in the kitchen.

On the menu for this week:

1. Soup and Salad Combo: Brocolli Cheddar Soup and Cranberry Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken

2. Chicken and Veggie Lo Mein

3. Roasted Vegetable and Turkey Sausage Stuffed Pitas

4. One Pot Beef and Broccoli
5. Black Bean and Sweet Potato Quesadillas


                  New CMP Loyalty Program Coming Soon

Meal prep may not be free every week anymore, BUT you can earn free meal preps by frequently attending! We will be starting a new loyalty program soon with punch cards. After attending 3 meal preps, you get the 4th for FREE. That equals one free meal prep a month. We love and appreciate all of you who continually come and want to reward you for doing so!



Join the Fuel Up with Food To Recover Challenge
Have a spring or summer race on the schedule? Have you ever felt your energy tank during a long workout or race? This is the challenge for you! 
This challenge is aimed towards fueling for endurance events (running, cycling, triathlons), but anyone who is interested is welcome to attend!



Did you try this week's post-workout snack?
Energy Bites
Ingredients:
1 cup oats
1 cup flax seed
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup dried fruit or chocolate chips (I used 1/2 cup of each)
2/3 cup honey

Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Form into bite size balls. Refrigerate or freeze until you are ready to enjoy!

Nutrition Tip of the Week: I heard many FTR members loved this snack (I do too)! This snack is packed with carbohydrates, fiber, healthy fats, and protein to nourish you after a workout. These are called energy bites because they have all of this nutrition packed into a bite size ball. One or two of these bites are plenty for a snack because of all of the energy they contain. Try to slow down and eat them mindfully so that you are satisfied from just one :)
