Hello Everyone,

So I was in the mood for something pretty traditional this week. I needed my carbohydrates, protein and fiber, veggies etc. so I decided to do something pretty easy and effective before training.

Note: You can adapt this with a different bread for the sandwich or meat and the best part is add a different amount or kind of vegetable.

That’s what I’ve been doing with this sandwich and my protein shake every morning for a few days. Trying to see what different variations are healthy, quick and give you the energy you need in the morning for a good workout  and comment so I have an idea! This will also give me ideas for different recipes to try next week.
