Eggs are known to be one of the good food for us runners. It is packed with protein, choline and vitamin D and offers you a number of health benefits.
Here’s a simple, but definitely not a boring way to eat eggs with cooked white and slightly soft yolk.

– Top of with some fresh herbs.
Chocolate Banana Shake
Bananas are a great source of easy-to-digest carbohydrates and eating one before a run is a great way to provide additional energy.
Like bananas, chocolate may give you more power and help you run longer if you drink it before your workout (according to a study published in 2006 in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism).
So, how about getting these 2 ingredients for an energy boost shake?
Here’s the recipe:
– In blender with 8 cubes ice, place a regular or Saba ripe banana, 2 whole eggs, 1 heaping teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup milk, 7 leaves spinach or gyunura , 2 dashes cayenne and 20 dashes cinammon.
– Blend and enjoy!
* To maintain weight keep at 2 eggs; 2 lose weight, use the 1 egg to 1 banana ratio.
