New post-run meal.

I threw together a meal tonight using leftovers - when I realized it could be a good meal for runners, I figured I'd post it here:

Penne pasta
pesto (to taste)
crushed tomatoes, canned (to taste)
cannellini beans (to taste)
crushed peppers (this depends on how spicy you like your food - I put in about a teaspoon)

The pasta is great for carbs (yay energy!)

And again, I'm not a nutritionist or anything, but I'm pretty sure that the beans paired with the crushed tomatoes make for an easily absorbed source of iron.

I just made this for my dinner, but if you wanted to make this as a post-run meal, I bet adding some chopped hard-boiled egg or some veggie ground round would add a tasty source of protein.

Happy running,

Sarah :)
